Molecular Tomography of the Quantum State by Time-Resolved Electron Diffraction

Figure 3

Wigner function for N2 in a Boltzmann distribution reconstructed from the experimental electron diffraction results of [41, 45]. The marginal and at the left and right edges of the graph, respectively, are plotted on an arbitrary vertical scale; momentum scale is in arbitrary units. For this equilibrium case, the diagonal density matrix elements and Wigner function adequately describe the full quantum state of the system.
