Stationary Phase Method in Discrete Wigner Functions and Classical Simulation of Quantum Circuits

One of the lowest-order corrections to Gaussian quantum mechanics in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces are Airy functions: a uniformization of the stationary phase method applied in the path integral perspective. We introduce a "periodized stationary phase method" to discrete Wigner func...
