abstract

We develop a resource theory for continuous-variable systems grounded on operations routinely available within current quantum technologies. In particular, the set of free operations is convex and includes quadratic transformations and conditional coarse-grained measurements. The present theory lends itself to quantify both quantum non-Gaussianity and Wigner negativity as resources, depending on the choice of the free-state set --- i.e., the convex hull of Gaussian states or the states with positive Wigner function, respectively. After showing that the theory admits no maximally resourceful state, we define a computable resource monotone --- the Wigner logarithmic negativity. We use the latter to assess the resource content of experimentally relevant states --- e.g., photon-added, photon-subtracted, cubic-phase, and cat states --- and to find optimal working points of some resource concentration protocols. We envisage applications of this framework to sub-universal and universal quantum information processing over continuous variables.

Quantum magic of strongly correlated fermions $-$ the Hubbard dimer

quant-ph · 2026-05-18 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0 · 2 refs

Non-stabilizerness in the Hubbard dimer is quantified via robustness of magic and stabilizer Renyi entropy, revealing the latter's failure on mixed states and distinguishing it from non-Gaussianity and superselected entanglement.
