We consider the nonclassicality distance indicator of a state in finite-dimensional quantum systems which is evaluating a state nonclassicality by its remoteness from the set of "classical states". The latter are identified with those…

For systems whose classical dynamics is chaotic, it is generally believed that the local statistical properties of the quantum energy levels are well described by Random Matrix Theory. We present here two counterexamples - the hydrogen atom…
