We formulate the diffraction problem using a boundary integral equation that is defined on the aperture using Dyadic Green’s function. This integral equation turns out to align with the one derived by Bethe using fictitious magnetic charges and currents. We then investigate the boundary integral equation using a saddle point formulation and establish the well-posedness of the boundary integral equation, including the existence and uniqueness of the solution in an appropriately defined Sobolev space.","PeriodicalId":16174,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematical Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141719687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

KD distributions behave similarly to classical joint probability distributions but can assume negative and nonreal values. In recent years, KD distributions have proven instrumental in mapping out nonclassical phenomena and quantum advantages. These quantum features have been connected to nonpositive entries of KD distributions. Consequently, it is important to understand the geometry of the KD-positive and -nonpositive states. Until now, there has been no thorough analysis of the KD positivity of mixed states. Here, we investigate the dependence of the full convex set of states with positive KD distributions on the eigenbases of A and B and on the dimension d of the Hilbert space. In particular, we identify three regimes where convex combinations of the eigenprojectors of A and B constitute the only KD-positive states: (i) any system in dimension 2; (ii) an open and dense probability one set of bases in dimension d = 3; and (iii) the discrete-Fourier-transform bases in prime dimension. Finally, we show that, if for example d = 2m, there exist, for suitable choices of A and B, mixed KD-positive states that cannot be written as convex combinations of pure KD-positive states. We further explicitly construct such states for a spin-1 system.","PeriodicalId":16174,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematical Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141588322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
