• Abstract: The Majorana stellar representation is used to characterize spin states that have a maximally negative Wigner quasiprobability distribution on a spherical phase space. These maximally Wigner-negative spin states generally exhibit a partial but not high degree of symmetry within their star configurations. In particular, for spin $j > 2$, maximal constellations do not correspond to a Platonic solid when available and do not follow an obvious geometric pattern as dimension increases. In addition, they are generally different from spin states that maximize other measures of nonclassicality such as anticoherence or geometric entanglement. Random states ($j \leq 6$) display on average a relatively high amount of negativity, but the extremal states and those with similar negativity are statistically rare in Hilbert space. We also prove that all spin coherent states of arbitrary dimension have non-zero Wigner negativity. This offers evidence that all pure spin states also have non-zero Wigner negativity. The results can be applied to qubit ensembles exhibiting permutation invariance.

  We explore a model of free fermions in one dimension subject to frustrated local measurements across adjacent sites. For maximal misalignment, superdiffusive behavior emerges from the vanishing of the measurement-induced quasiparticle decay rate. Our findings show how intricate fractal-scaling entanglement can be produced for local Hamiltonians.

  We explore the convergence and nonasymptotic maximal inequalities of supermartingales and backward submartingales in the space of positive semidefinite matrices. Our results lead to new concentration inequalities for either martingale dependent or exchangeable random symmetric matrices under a variety of tail conditions. These inequalities are usually expressed in the boundsner order, are sometimes valid simultaneously for all sample sizes or at an arbitrary data-dependent stopping time, and can often be tightened via an external randomization factor.

  We show that there are no photons with $boldsymbolk=0$, creating a hole in momentum space. While the set of all photons forms a trivial vector bundle $gamma$ over this momentum space, the $R$- and $L$-photons form topologically nontrivial subbundles. We also demonstrate that the spin-Chern number of photons is not a purely topological quantity.

The lower bound determines the relative size of such absolutely Wigner bounded (AWB) polytopes. Special attention is given to the case where the polytope separates orbits containing only positive Wigner functions from other orbits.

• Wigner negativity in spin-$j$ systems [1.1470070927586016]
  The nonclassicality of simple spin systems as measured by Wigner negativity is studied on a spherical phase space. We derive a bound on the Wigner negativity of spin cat states that rapidly approaches the true value as spin increases beyond $j gtrsim 5$. Results underscore the influence that dynamical symmetry has on nonclassicality, and suggest a guiding perspective for finding novel quantum computational applications.
