Nonclassical quantifier based on skewed information

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We propose a convenient and easily computable nonclassicality quantifier for bosonic field states based on the Wigner-Yanase skew information. The proposed nonclassicality quantifier is reflected by the quantum interaction between the maximum phase angle of the homodyne rotated quadrature operator and the bosonic field states. If the value of the nonclassical quantifier is greater than one-half, the state is nonclassical, and the quantifier is one-half for the pure classical. It is worth mentioning that an increase in the strength of nonclassicality inducing operations, such as squeezing and photon addition, leads to an enhancement of the nonclassicality in the quantum state. By computing some well-known nonclassical states and summarizing their existence features, we have confirmed the validity of our proposed nonclassicality quantifier. We have shown that in a range of values of the nonclassicality of the Gaussian state, revealing the sufficiency of the quantifier. We also compare it with two common nonclassical quantifiers to illustrate its advantages.
