We introduce the concept of absolutely classical spin states, in analogy to absolutely separable states of bi-partite quantum systems. Absolutely classical states are states that remain classical under any unitary transformation applied to them. We investigate the maximum ball of absolutely classical states centered on the fully mixed state that can be inscribed into the set of classical states, and derive a lower bound for its radius as function of the total spin quantum number. The result is compared to the case of absolutely separable states.

A set of quantum states is said to be absolutely entangled, when at least one state in the set remains entangled for any definition of subsystems, i.e. for any choice of the global reference frame. In this work we investigate the properties of absolu tey entangled sets (AES) of pure quantum states. For the case of a two-qubit system, we present a sufficient condition to detect an AES, and use it to construct families of $N$ states such that $N-3$ (the maximal possible number) remain entangled for any definition of subsystems. For a general bipartition $d=d_1d_2$, we prove that sets of $N>leftlfloor{(d_{1}+1)(d_{2}+1)/2}right rfloor$ states are AES with Haar measure 1. Then, we define AES for multipartitions. We derive a general lower bound on the number of states in an AES for a given multipartition, and also construct explicit examples. In particular, we exhibit an AES with respect to any possible multi-partitioning of the total system.
Entangled states are undoubtedly an integral part of various quantum information processing tasks. On the other hand, absolutely separable states which cannot be made entangled under any global unitary operations are useless from the resource theoret ic perspective, and hence identifying non-absolutely separable states can be an important issue for designing quantum technologies. Here we report that nonlinear witness operators provide significant improvements in detecting non-absolutely separable states over their linear analogs, by invoking examples of states in various dimensions. We also address the problem of closing detection loophole and find critical efficiency of detectors above which no fake detection of non-absolutely separable (non-absolutely positive partial transposed) states is possible.
Quantum spins of mesoscopic size are a well-studied playground for engineering non-classical states. If the spin represents the collective state of an ensemble of qubits, its non-classical behavior is linked to entanglement between the qubits. In thi s work, we report on an experimental study of entanglement in dysprosiums electronic spin. Its ground state, of angular momentum $J=8$, can formally be viewed as a set of $2J$ qubits symmetric upon exchange. To access entanglement properties, we partition the spin by optically coupling it to an excited state $J=J-1$, which removes a pair of qubits in a state defined by the light polarization. Starting with the well-known W and squeezed states, we extract the concurrence of qubit pairs, which quantifies their non-classical character. We also directly demonstrate entanglement between the 14- and 2-qubit subsystems via an increase in entropy upon partition. In a complementary set of experiments, we probe decoherence of a state prepared in the excited level $J=J+1$ and interpret spontaneous emission as a loss of a qubit pair in a random state. This allows us to contrast the robustness of pairwise entanglement of the W state with the fragility of the coherence involved in a Schrodinger cat state. Our findings open up the possibility to engineer novel types of entangled atomic ensembles, in which entanglement occurs within each atoms electronic spin as well as between different atoms.
The initial states which minimize the predictability loss for a damped harmonic oscillator are identified as quasi-free states with a symmetry dictated by the environments diffusion coefficients. For an isotropic diffusion in phase space, coherent st ates (or mixtures of coherent states) are selected as the most stable ones.
It is shown that Schrodingers equation and Borns rule are sufficient to ensure that the states of macroscopic collective coordinate subsystems are microscopically localized in phase space and that the localized state follows the classical trajectory with random quantum noise that is indistinguishable from the pseudo-random noise of classical Brownian motion. This happens because in realistic systems the localization rate determined by the coupling to the environment is greater than the Lyapunov exponent that governs chaotic spreading in phase space. For realistic systems, the trajectories of the collective coordinate subsystem are at the same time an unravelling and a set of consistent/decoherent histories. Different subsystems have their own stochastic dynamics that generally knit together to form a global dynamics, although in certain contrived thought experiments, most notably Wigners friend, in the contrary, there is observer complementarity.
