• Abstract summary: This paper reports about the Wigner formalism for describing Dirac spinor structures through a covariant phase-space formulation. For Dirac spinor Wigner operators decomposed into Poincar'e classes of $SU(2) otimes SU(2)$ spinor couplings, a definitive expression for quantum purity is identified. Our results can be read as the first step in the systematic computation of the elementary information content of Dirac-like systems.

• Abstract: Reporting about the Wigner formalism for describing Dirac spinor structures through a covariant phase-space formulation, the quantum information quantifiers for purity and mutual information involving spin-parity (discrete) and position-momentum (continuous) degrees of freedom are consistently obtained. For Dirac spinor Wigner operators decomposed into Poincar\'e classes of $SU(2) \otimes SU(2)$ spinor couplings, a definitive expression for quantum purity is identified in a twofold way: firstly, in terms of phase-space positively defined quantities, and secondly, in terms of the {\em spin-parity traced-out} associated density matrix in the position coordinate representation, both derived from the original Lorentz covariant phase-space Wigner representation. Naturally, such a structure supports the computation of relative (linear) entropies respectively associated to discrete (spin-parity) and continuous (position-momentum) degrees of freedom. The obtained theoretical tools are used for quantifying (relative) purities, mutual information as well as, by means of the quantum concurrence quantifier, the spin-parity quantum entanglement, for a charged fermion trapped by a uniform magnetic field which, by the way, has the phase-space structure completely described in terms of Laguerre polynomials associated to the quantized Landau levels. Our results can be read as the first step in the systematic computation of the elementary information content of Dirac-like systems exhibiting some kind of confining behavior.

  We develop an approach for characterizing non-local quantum correlations in spin systems with exactly or nearly degenerate ground states. We generate a finite set of their random linear combinations with Haar measure, which guarantees that these combinations are uniformly distributed in the space spanned by the initial eigenstates. We elaborate on the problem of estimating observables on the basis of the single-shot measurements of numerous degenerate eigenstates.

  We study localized Dirac cat states as carriers of qubits correlated by phase-space variables. The intrinsic entanglement profile implied by the Dirac Hamiltonian is then investigated so as to shed a light on quantum states as carriers of qubits correlated by phase-space variables. Our results show that the Dirac Wigner functions for cat states exhibit an almost maximized persistent mutual information profile.
