The global indicator of classicality of an arbitrary $N$-level quantum system
Abstract
It is commonly accepted that a deviation of the Wigner quasiprobability distribution of a quantum state from a proper statistical distribution signifies its nonclassicality. Following this ideology, we introduce the global indicator for quantification of "classicality-quantumness" correspondence in the form of the functional on the orbit space of the group adjoint action on the state space of an -dimensional quantum system. The indicator is defined as a relative volume of a subspace where the Wigner quasiprobability distribution is positive. An algebraic structure of is revealed and exemplified by a single qubit and single qutrit . For the Hilbert-Schmidt ensemble of qutrits the dependence of the global indicator on the moduli parameter of the Wigner quasiprobability distribution has been found.
