Motivation for Wigner Phase Space Distribution
Most sources say that Wigner distribution acts like a joint phase-space distribution in quantum mechanics and this is justified by the formula

Negative probabilities in quantum physics
Negative probabilities are naturally found in the Wigner function (both the original one and its discrete variants), the Klein paradox (where it is an artifact of using a one-particle theory) and the ...

an example of a quantum system for which wigner function transitions to negative values
I want to check my understanding of the Wigner transform and try to understand why and how exactly the probabilistic interpretation drops down as the function goes to zero and then to negative values
...
