• Abstract: Quasiprobability has become an increasingly popular notion for characterising non-classicality in quantum information, thermodynamics, and metrology. Two important distributions with non-positive quasiprobability are the Wigner function and the Glauber-Sudarshan function. Here we study properties of the spin Wigner function for finite-dimensional quantum systems and draw comparisons with its infinite-dimensional analog, focusing in particular on the relation to the Glauber-Sudarshan function and the existence of absolutely Wigner-bounded states. More precisely, we investigate unitary orbits of mixed spin states that are characterized by Wigner functions lower-bounded by a specified value. To this end, we extend a characterization of the set of absolutely Wigner positive states as a set of linear eigenvalue constraints, which together define a polytope centred on the maximally mixed state in the simplex of spin-$j$ states. The lower bound determines the relative size of such absolutely Wigner bounded (AWB) polytopes and we study their geometric characteristics. In each dimension a Hilbert-Schmidt ball representing a tight purity-based sufficient condition to be AWB is exactly determined, while another ball representing a necessary condition to be AWB is conjectured. Special attention is given to the case where the polytope separates orbits containing only positive Wigner functions from other orbits because of the use of Wigner negativity as a witness of non-classicality. Comparisons are made to absolute symmetric state separability and spin Glauber-Sudarshan positivity, with additional details given for low spin quantum numbers.

  Non-Hermitian quantum many-body systems feature steady-state entanglement transitions driven by unitary dynamics and dissipation. We show that the steady state is obtained by filling single-particle right eigenstates with the largest imaginary part of the eigenvalue. We illustrate these principles in the Hatano-Nelson model with periodic boundary conditions and the non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model.

  We explore the entanglement features of pure symmetric N-qubit states characterized by N-distinct spinors. Along with a comparison of pairwise entanglement and monogamy properties, we explore the geometric information contained in them by constructing their canonical steering ellipsoids. We obtain the volume monogamy relations satisfied by WWbar states as a function of number of qubits and compare with the maximal monogamy property of GHZ states.

• Continuous majorization in quantum phase space [0.0]
  We show that majorization theory provides an elegant and very natural approach to exploring the information-theoretic properties of Wigner functions in phase space. We conjecture a fundamental majorization relation: any positive Wigner function is majorized by the Wigner function of a Gaussian pure state. Our main result is then to prove this fundamental majorization relation for a relevant subset of Wigner-positive quantum states.
