A Structure-preserving Adaptive-Rank Approach to the High-Dimensional Wigner-Poisson System (opens in new tab)

The Wigner-Poisson system is a deterministic phase-space model for quantum kinetic electron dynamics, but high-dimensional simulations are limited by the full 3D3V phase space and the nonlocal Wigner potential. We develop a structure-preserving, sampling-based adaptive-rank solver in hierarchical Tucker format for finite-$H$ regimes in which Wigner-Poisson solutions exhibit exploitable low-rank structure. The central difficulty is that adaptive ...
