| contents | In quantum mechanics, the Wigner function $ρ_W(\textbf{r},\textbf{p})$ serves as a phase-space representation, capturing information about both the position $\textbf{r}$ and momentum $\textbf{p}$ of a quantum system. The Wigner function facilitates the calculation of expectation values of observables, examination of quantum system dynamics, and analysis of coherence and correlations. Therefore, it might serve as a tool to express quantum systems intuitively, for example, by using sonification techniques. This paper summarizes the experimental strategies employed in a previous project and delineates a new approach based on its outcomes. Emphasizing the attribution of specific Wigner functions to their underlying quantum states, dynamics, and sources; our proposed methodology seeks to refine the sonification and scoring process, aiming to enhance intuitive understanding and interpretation of quantum phenomena. |
