Quantum Wigner master equation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the quantum Wigner master equation and the challenge of proving its coordinate representation as found in a referenced book. The equation involves terms related to the Hamiltonian, dissipation, and commutation relations. A key point of confusion is understanding why the terms appear in the form (x-y). The user expresses gratitude after resolving their issue. The focus remains on the mathematical derivation and its implications in quantum mechanics.

I have the quantum master equation:

$$\frac{\partial\rho}{\partial t}=\frac{1}{i \hbar}[H_0,\rho]+\frac{\gamma}{i \hbar}[q,\{p,\rho\}]-\frac{D}{\hbar^2}[q,[q,\rho]]$$

And have to prove that the coordinates representation is like in the book of the link.

I can't undertand how to obtain the terms with th form (x-y), why (x-y)?.

Thanks.

I solve it. Thanks.

(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
