Abstract
The ability of accounting for quantum-coherent and phase-breaking processes is a major feature of the Wigner transport formalism. However, the coherent case is only obtained at significant numerical costs. Therefore, a scheme which uses coherent data obtained with a Green’s function formalism has been developed. This scheme calculates the necessary corrections due to scattering using the Wigner approach and the associated Boltzmann collision models. The resulting evolution problem is not only theoretically derived, but simulation results are presented as well.
