A new theorem on the non-classicality depth of states has been proved. We show that if $W_{\hat \rho} (\alpha_m,s_m)=0$ exist for some value of the ordering parameter $s$ at some phase-space point $\alpha_m$, and if $W_{\hat \rho}…
We use strong complementarity to introduce dynamics and symmetries within the framework of CQM, which we also extend to infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert spaces: these were long-missing features, which open the way to a wealth of new…

A striking feature of our fundamentally indeterministic quantum universe is its quasiclassical realm -- the wide range of time place and scale in which the deterministic laws of classical physics hold. Our quasiclassical realmis an emergent…
