- Abstract: Quantum systems can be prepared in an infinite continuum of states, but only some of them can be used as resources for quantum technologies. Discerning whether a specific quantum state falls into this class, is often a challenging task. We show that it can be performed by looking at the squeezing of the quantum states - a scenario in which the variance of some observable operator is suppressed below the threshold given by the non-useful states. We discuss the general concept first; then we illustrate the approach by evaluating cubic nonlinear squeezing in the system of collective atomic spins.

- How quantum mechanics requires non-additive measures [0.0]
Measure theory is used in physics, not just to capture classical probability, but also to quantify the number of states.
We construct the quantum equivalent of the Liouville measure, which is non-additive and has a unitary lower bound.
We show these preliminary results and outline a new line of inquiry that may provide a different insight into the foundations of quantum theory.

The superposition principle is one of the most fundamental principles of quantum mechanics.
Here we demonstrate the preparation of a mechanical resonator with an effective mass of 16.2 micrograms in Schr"odinger cat states of motion.
We show control over the size and phase of the superposition and investigate the decoherence dynamics of these states.

We show that entanglement dilution can increase the resilience of shared quantum states to local noise.

We report a phenomenon occurring in open quantum systems by which virtual states can acquire a sizable population in the long time limit.
This means that the situation where the virtual state remains unpopulated can be metastable.
We show how these results can be relevant for practical questions such as the generation of stable and metastable entangled states in dissipative systems of interacting qubits.

We study the superpositions of a pure entangled state and a pure product state, when the amplitudes corresponding to the states appearing in any superposition are nonzero.
All such superpositions produce only entangled states if the initial entangled state has Schmidt rank three or higher.
We find that conditional inseparability of superpositions help in identifying strategies for conclusive local discrimination of shared quantum ensembles.

We consider the problem of discriminating quantum states, where the task is to distinguish two different quantum states with a complete classical knowledge about them.
In the case the quantum states are represented by coherent states of light, we identify intermediate scenarios where partial prior information is available.

In the quantum Zeno effect, quantum measurements can block the coherent oscillation of a two level system by freezing its state to one of the measurement eigenstates.
We show that the onset of the Zeno regime is marked by a $textitcascade of transitions$ in the system dynamics as the measurement strength is increased.
