Quantum non-Gaussianity is a key resource for quantum advantage in continuous-variable systems. We introduce a general framework to quantify non-Gaussianity based on correlation generation: two copies of a state become correlated at a…

The variance of (relative) surprisal, also known as varentropy, so far mostly plays a role in information theory as quantifying the leading order corrections to asymptotic i.i.d.~limits. Here, we comprehensively study the use of it to…

A measure of nonclassicality of quantum states based on the volume of the negative part of the Wigner function is proposed. We analyze this quantity for Fock states, squeezed displaced Fock states and cat-like states defined as coherent…
