Abstract

Abstract We consider a non-relativistic particle in a one-dimensional box with all possible quantum boundary conditions that make the kinetic-energy operator self-adjoint. We determine the Wigner functions of the corresponding eigenfunctions and analyze in detail their classical limit, governed by their behavior in the high-energy regime. We show that the quantum boundary conditions split into two classes: all local and regular boundary conditions collapse to the same classical boundary condition, while a dependence on singular non-local boundary conditions persists in the classical limit.
