摘要

We investigate the dynamics of two-level systems using the quasidistribution $Q$ function projected onto the space of collective measurements. Particular attention is given to evolution under Hamiltonians that are invariant under particle permutations, for pure states that are either invariant or noninvariant under such permutations. This requires constructing an approximate analog of the star product between quasidistribution functions: the projected $Q$ function of a product of two operators is expressed approximately in terms of the individual operators' $Q$ and $P$ functions. We rewrite the Liouville equation to determine approximate state dynamics and compare the result with exact evolution using the Hellinger distance. Overall, the method performs well for permutation-invariant pure states and Hamiltonians, whereas deviations arise for arbitrary pure states and noninvariant Hamiltonians.
