Extending Hudson’s theorem to mixed quantum states

Extending Hudson’s theorem to mixed quantum states

According to Hudson's theorem, any pure quantum state with a positive Wigner function is necessarily a Gaussian state. Here, we make a step towards the extension of this theorem to mixed quantum states by finding upper and lower bounds on the degree of non-Gaussianity of states with positive Wigner functions. …
