Description

Unlike the standard statistical distribution, for some states the Wigner function takes negative values, and this property is generally considered to be an indicator of quantumness of a system. We analyze the global indicator of classicality for N-level quantum systems, which is based on the negative part of the Wigner function and defined on the orbit space of a quantum system endowed with a certain Riemannian metric. Meaning to find connections between the informational contents and geometrical characteristics of quantum states, we evaluate the global indicator of classicality of a qutrit for various metrics.
