T1 Nonclassicality in the statistics of noncommuting observables: Nonclassical states are more compatible than classical states
A1 Luis Aina, Alfredo
AB We study nonclassicality in the product of the probabilities of noncommuting observables. We show that within the quantum theory, nonclassical states can provide larger probability product than classical states, so that nonclassical states approach the nonfluctuating states of the classical theory more closely than classical states. This is particularized to relevant complementary observables such as conjugate quadratures, phase and number, quadrature and number, and orthogonal angular momentum components.
