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.

  1. Benchmarking trigonometric continuous-variable gate primitives with trapped ions

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Cosine gates exp(-iθ cos(c x̂)) in one- and two-mode versions were implemented on trapped-ion motional modes and benchmarked against noise-inclusive simulations via Fock-space transition probabilities.

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

    quant-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Non-stabilizerness of the Hubbard dimer is computed with robustness of magic and stabilizer Rényi entropy, revealing it as a resource distinct from fermionic non-Gaussianity and superselected entanglement.

  3. When inflationary perturbations refuse to classicalise: the role of non-Gaussianity in Wigner negativity

    gr-qc 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0

    In ultra-slow-roll inflation, the Wigner function of the inflationary Goldstone field becomes negative and its negativity grows with the scale factor squared, so the perturbations do not automatically become classical.

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

    quant-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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 e...
