Published: November 2004

We describe a real-valued and periodic representation of quantum states. This representation can be defined operationally using generalized position and momentum measurements on coupled systems. It turns out that the emerging quantum interference terms encode the complete state information and also allow us to formulate quantum dynamics. We discuss the close connection to the theory of analytic functions.
