Set . The Schrödinger equation and its conjugate give
since and . In the Wigner transform, integration by parts turns into , yielding the free transport equation
Along its characteristics , the value is constant. Thus
For rapidly decreasing smooth data every integration by parts is justified; weaker data follow distributionally.
