We give a robust definition for the classicality versus quantumness of a single multipartite quantum state, a set of states, and a protocol using quantum states. We show a variety of nonentangled (separable) states that exhibit interesting quantum properties, and we explore the ``zoo'' of separable states; several interesting subclasses are defined based on their diagonalizing bases, and their non-classical behavior is investigated.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-03-13T13:37:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantumness", "classicality", "single multipartite quantum state", "robust definition", "quantum mechanics" ], "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007quant.ph..3103G" } } }
