Abstract

A new interpretation of the scalar product in Hilbert space was presented recently by Aharonov, Albert, and Au. Here the essential equivalence between such a view-point and Wigner's exact reformulation of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics using distribution functions is pointed out. © 1982 The American Physical Society.
