Anomalous energy exchanges and Wigner-function negativities in a single-qubit gate

M Maffei, C Elouard, BO Goes, B Huard, AN Jordan… - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
Anomalous weak values and the Wigner function's negativity are well-known witnesses of
quantum contextuality. We show that these effects occur when analyzing the energetics of a …
