A simple method to obtain the equilibrium solution of Wigner-Boltzmann equation with all higher order quantum corrections

Abstract

A simple method has been introduced to furnish the equilibrium solution of the Wigner equation for all order of the quantum correction. This process builds up a recursion relation involving the coefficients of the different power of the velocity. The technique greatly relies upon the proper guess work of the trial solution and is different from the Wigner s original work. The solution is in a compact exponential form with a polynomial of velocity in the argument and returns the Wigner s form when expansion of the exponential factor is carried out. The study keeps its importance in studying various close as well as open quantum mechanical system. In addition, this solution may be employed to obtain the non equilibrium one particle wigner distribution in the relaxation-time approximation and under near-equilibrium conditions.
