Primes¶
- Correspondence Principle
- The Wigner function provides a bridge: it is a quasi-probability distribution that reduces to classical phase-space probability in the classical limit, but it can take negative values for nonclassical states, signaling the failure of strict point-wise correspondence.
This sourceIntroduces the Wigner quasi-probability distribution, which reduces to classical phase-space probability in the classical limit but takes negative values for nonclassical states; supports the singular-limit / negative-Wigner-value claim in T1 (D13-104).

- Phase Space
- Not identical to Hilbert space in quantum mechanics: the quantum analog of phase space is Hilbert space (or projective Hilbert space), with a different geometric structure.
This sourceDevelops the Wigner quasi-probability distribution, extending phase-space concepts to quantum mechanics; addresses the quantum-classical correspondence and operator-ordering subtleties.

Domain-specific¶
Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 3 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
