It is commonly accepted that a deviation of the Wigner quasiprobability distribution of a quantum state from a proper statistical distribution signifies its nonclassicality. Following this ideology, we introduce the global indicator $mathcal{Q}_N$ for quantification of classicality-quantumness correspondence in the form of the functional on the orbit space $mathcal{O}[mathfrak{P}_N]$ of the $SU(N)$ group adjoint action on the state space $mathfrak{P}_N$ of an $N$-dimensional quantum system. The indicator $mathcal{Q}_{N}$ is defined as a relative volume of a subspace $mathcal{O}[mathfrak{P}^{(+)}_N] subset mathcal{O}[mathfrak{P}_N],,$ where the Wigner quasiprobability distribution is positive. An algebraic structure of $mathcal{O}[mathfrak{P}^{(+)}_N]$ is revealed and exemplified by a single qubit $(N=2)$ and single qutrit $(N=3)$. For the Hilbert-Schmidt ensemble of qutrits the dependence of the global indicator on the moduli parameter of the Wigner quasiprobability distribution has been found.

Given an arbitrary $2^w times 2^w$ unitary matrix $U$, a powerful matrix decomposition can be applied, leading to four different syntheses of a $w$-qubit quantum circuit performing the unitary transformation. The demonstration is based on a recent th eorem by Fuhr and Rzeszotnik, generalizing the scaling of single-bit unitary gates ($w=1$) to gates with arbitrary value of~$w$. The synthesized circuit consists of controlled 1-qubit gates, such as NEGATOR gates and PHASOR gates. Interestingly, the approach reduces to a known synthesis method for classical logic circuits consisting of controlled NOT gates, in the case that $U$ is a permutation matrix.
We define a new quantifier of classicality for a quantum state, the Roughness, which is given by the $mathcal{L}^2 (R^2)$ distance between Wigner and Husimi functions. We show that the Roughness is bounded and therefore it is a useful tool for compar ison between different quantum states for single bosonic systems. The state classification via the Roughness is not binary, but rather it is continuous in the interval [0,1], being the state more classic as the Roughness approaches to zero, and more quantum when it is closer to the unity. The Roughness is maximum for Fock states when its number of photons is arbitrarily large, and also for squeezed states at the maximum compression limit. On the other hand, the Roughness reaches its minimum value for thermal states at infinite temperature and, more generally, for infinite entropy states. The Roughness of a coherent state is slightly below one half, so we may say that it is more a classical state than a quantum one. Another important result is that the Roughness performs well for discriminating both pure and mixed states. Since the Roughness measures the inherent quantumness of a state, we propose another function, the Dynamic Distance Measure (DDM), which is suitable for measure how much quantum is a dynamics. Using DDM, we studied the quartic oscillator, and we observed that there is a certain complementarity between dynamics and state, i.e. when dynamics becomes more quantum, the Roughness of the state decreases, while the Roughness grows as the dynamics becomes less quantum.
We analyze the set ${cal A}_N^Q$ of mixed unitary channels represented in the Weyl basis and accessible by a Lindblad semigroup acting on an $N$-level quantum system. General necessary and sufficient conditions for a mixed Weyl quantum channel of an arbitrary dimension to be accessible by a semigroup are established. The set ${cal A}_N^Q$ is shown to be log--convex and star-shaped with respect to the completely depolarizing channel. A decoherence supermap acting in the space of Lindblad operators transforms them into the space of Kolmogorov generators of classical semigroups. We show that for mixed Weyl channels the hyper-decoherence commutes with the dynamics, so that decohering a quantum accessible channel we obtain a bistochastic matrix form the set ${cal A}_N^C$ of classical maps accessible by a semigroup. Focusing on $3$-level systems we investigate the geometry of the sets of quantum accessible maps, its classical counterpart and the support of their spectra. We demonstrate that the set ${cal A}_3^Q$ is not included in the set ${cal U}^Q_3$ of quantum unistochastic channels, although an analogous relation holds for $N=2$. The set of transition matrices obtained by hyper-decoherence of unistochastic channels of order $Nge 3$ is shown to be larger than the set of unistochastic matrices of this order, and yields a motivation to introduce the larger sets of $k$-unistochastic matrices.
In the present report we discuss measures of classicality/quantumness of states of finite-dimensional quantum systems, which are based on a deviation of quasiprobability distributions from true statistical distributions. Particularly, the dependence of the global indicator of classicality on the assigned geometry of a quantum state space is analysed for a whole family of Wigner quasiprobability representations. General considerations are exemplified by constructing the global indicator of classicality/quantumness for the Hilbert-Schmidt, Bures and Bogoliubov-Kubo-Mori ensembles of qubits and qutrits.
We propose a measure of entanglement that can be computed for any pure state of an $M$-qubit system. The entanglement measure has the form of a distance that we derive from an adapted application of the Fubini-Study metric. This measure is invariant under local unitary transformations and defined as trace of a suitable metric that we derive, the entanglement metric $tilde{g}$. Furthermore, the analysis of the eigenvalues of $tilde{g}$ gives information about the robustness of entanglement.
