• Authors: Stephan De Bievre
• Abstract summary: Given two orthonormal bases in a d-dimensional Hilbert space, one associates to each state its Kirkwood-Dirac quasi-probability distribution. KD-nonclassical states have been shown to provide a quantum advantage in quantum metrology and information. We show that when the bases are completely incompatible, states whose support uncertainty is not equal to its minimal value d+1 are necessarily KD-nonclassical.

• Abstract: Given two orthonormal bases in a d-dimensional Hilbert space, one associates to each state its Kirkwood-Dirac (KD) quasi-probability distribution. KD-nonclassical states - for which the KD-distribution takes on negative and/or nonreal values - have been shown to provide a quantum advantage in quantum metrology and information, raising the question of their identification. Under suitable conditions of incompatibility between the two bases, we provide sharp lower bounds on the support uncertainty of states that guarantee their KD-nonclassicality. In particular, when the bases are completely incompatible, a notion we introduce, states whose support uncertainty is not equal to its minimal value d+1 are necessarily KD-nonclassical. The implications of these general results for various commonly used bases, including the mutually unbiased ones, and their perturbations, are detailed.

  Kirkwood-Dirac (KD) quasiprobability is a quantum analog of classical phase space probability. It offers an informationally complete representation of quantum state. How does such form of quantumness comply with the uncertainty principle which also arise from quantum noncommutativity?

  We develop a faithful quantifier of quantum coherence based on the KD nonclassicality. The KD-nonclassicality coherence captures simultaneously the nonreality and the negativity of the KD quasiprobability.

• Work statistics, quantum signatures and enhanced work extraction in quadratic fermionic models [62.997667081978825]
  In quadratic fermionic models we determine a quantum correction to the work statistics after a sudden and a time-dependent driving. Such a correction lies in the non-commutativity of the initial quantum state and the time-dependent Hamiltonian. Thanks to the latter, one can assess the onset of non-classical signatures in the KDQ distribution of work.

  Kernel Stein discrepancies (KSDs) measure the quality of a distributional approximation. We first show that standard KSDs used for weak convergence control fail to control moment convergence. We then provide sufficient conditions under which alternative diffusion KSDs control both moment and weak convergence.

• Relating incompatibility, noncommutativity, uncertainty and Kirkwood-Dirac nonclassicality [0.0]
  We study the notion of completely incompatible observables and its links to the support uncertainty and to the Kirkwood-Dirac nonclassicality of pure quantum states. We show furthermore that complete incompatibility implies several weaker notions of incompatibility, among which features a strong form of noncommutativity.
