Wigner negativity in spin-j systems

The nonclassicality of simple spin systems as measured by Wigner negativity is studied on a spherical phase space. Several SU(2)-covariant states with common qubit representations are analyzed: spin coherent states, spin cat (Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger or N00N) states, and Dicke (W) states. We deri...
