55. Notice that the notion of a quantum-mechanical phase space has to be qualified in that such a phase space is not uniquely defined. Further, the functions accommodated by the Wigner phase space may take on negative values such that the Wigner function cannot be interpreted as a probability distribution.

66. Notice that other unphysical features of the Lindblad-type models have been pointed out in the literature, notably their failure to preserve translational invariance, and the fact the asymptomatic state may differ from the thermal equilibrium state (see, e.g., Ref. 39).

73. If the Wigner distribution is positive throughout, as is the case for a Gaussian density, one may think of a classical nonequilibrium ensemble as the analogue of the quantum distribution (in the vein of "modeling quantum fluctuations by thermal fluctuations"). Beyond this, the trajectory picture is viable if the Wigner distribution comprises negative portions, which are accounted for in terms of constant negative amplitude factors. Note further that several schemes have been suggested to extend the trajectory picture in Wigner space beyond the harmonic case, by introducing h corrections in the equations of motions for the Winger trajectories, (see Refs. 70, 71, and 85).
74. Remark that, on the quantum-mechanical side, there is no analogue to the classical single-trajectory case. Conversely, the single-trajectory case may be understood as the classical limit to Bohmian mechanics, in which the hydrodynamic, or "quantum" force (that subsumes all intrinsic quantum effects) disappears (see Ref. 32).
75. cl(q,p) = P (q) δ(p - p′).
76. Ref. 77 details the relation between the coordinate-space and Wiger representations for the Gaussian density, which allows one to translate between the results of Ref. 27 and the present derivation.
