@article{Tronci2021KoopmanWA, title={Koopman wavefunctions and Clebsch variables in Vlasov–Maxwell kinetic theory}, author={Cesare Tronci and Ilon Joseph}, journal={Journal of Plasma Physics}, year={2021}, volume={87} }
Motivated by recent discussions on the possible role of quantum computation in plasma simulations, here, we present different approaches to Koopman's Hilbert-space formulation of classical mechanics in the context of Vlasov–Maxwell kinetic theory. The celebrated Koopman–von Neumann construction is provided with two different Hamiltonian structures: one is canonical and recovers the usual Clebsch representation of the Vlasov density, the other is non-canonical and appears to overcome certain…

Upon applying the Madelung transform from quantum hydrodynamics in the new context, it is shown how the Koopman wavefunction picture is insufficient to reproduce arbitrary classical distributions, but this problem is entirely overcome by resorting to von Neumann operators.
