Orthogonal Polynomials in Phase-Space and Classical Analogs to Quantum Eigenstates with an Application to the Transmission Flux for the Potential Step
We introduce a set of orthogonal polynomials in phase space with similar properties, and which can be reduced to the usual Hermite polynomials. Based on these polynomials, we develop a method that allows the finding of classical analogs to quantum eigenstates. This method is applied to the free particle scattered by a potential step and the transmission flux is calculated and compared with the quantum one.
