Using the quadrature bases that incorporate the spatiotemporal degrees of freedom, we develop a Wigner functional theory for quantum optics, as an extension of the Moyal formalism. Since the spatiotemporal quadrature bases span the complete…
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…
The quasiprobability distribution of the discrete Wigner function provides a complete description of a quantum state and is, therefore, a useful alternative to the usual density matrix description. Moreover, the experimental quantum state…
