The presence of negative values in the Wigner quasiprobability distribution is deemed one of the hallmarks of nonclassical phenomena in quantum systems. Here we demonstrate a classical model of squeezed light that, when combined with…

We consider the ``visible'' Wigner matrix, a Wigner matrix whose $(i, j)$-th entry is coerced to zero if $i, j$ are co-prime. Using a recent result from elementary number theory on co-primality patterns in integers, we show that the…

We analyze two two-mode continuous variable separable states with the same marginal states. We adopt the definition of classicality in the form of well-defined positive Wigner function describing the state and find that although the states…
