Journal of Russian Laser Research Aims and scope

Abstract

We study tomographic probability distributions of quantum states of two free particles. We construct the conditional tomographic probability distribution of one random variable determining any quantum state of the system of two free particles. We obtain explicit forms of the center-of-mass tomograms for coherent states of the system of moving free particles and discuss the generalization of the results to the case of several free particles.
