The Glauber-Sudarshan and Kirkwood-Rihaczec functions
It is shown how to write the Kirkwood-Rihaczec quasiprobability distribution
as an expectation value of the vacuum state. We do this, by writing the
position eigenstates as a "displacment" of the vacumm. We also give a relation
between the Glauber-Sudarshan and Kirkwood-Rihaczec quasiprobability
distributions
