@article{26290, abstract = {{We devise a method to certify nonclassical features via correlations of phase-space distributions by unifying the notions of quasiprobabilities and matrices of correlation functions. Our approach complements and extends recent results that were based on Chebyshev's integral inequality \cite{BA19}. The method developed here correlates arbitrary phase-space functions at arbitrary points in phase space, including multimode scenarios and higher-order correlations. Furthermore, our approach provides necessary and sufficient nonclassicality criteria, applies to phase-space functions beyond s-parametrized ones, and is accessible in experiments. To demonstrate the power of our technique, the quantum characteristics of discrete- and continuous-variable, single- and multimode, as well as pure and mixed states are certified only employing second-order correlations and Husimi functions, which always resemble a classical probability distribution. Moreover, nonlinear generalizations of our approach are studied. Therefore, a versatile and broadly applicable framework is devised to uncover quantum properties in terms of matrices of phase-space distributions.}}, author = {{Bohmann, Martin and Agudelo, Elizabeth and Sperling, Jan}}, issn = {{2521-327X}}, journal = {{Quantum}}, title = {{{Probing nonclassicality with matrices of phase-space distributions}}}, doi = {{10.22331/q-2020-10-15-343}}, year = {{2020}}, }
