摘要
We study the motion of neutral spinning particles in static inhomogeneous magnetic fields, where the orbital motion and spin dynamic do not factorize. Using the phase-space representation of quantum mechanics, the Moyal propagator is obtained for the case of a linearized field. As an example, the evolution of particles in coherent rotational states is calculated. In order to interprete the Wigner state function in a classical mechanical way, we calculated the Husimi functions.
