Abstract
With the purpose to introduce a useful tool for researches concerning foundations of quantum mechanics and applications to quantum technologies, here we study three quantumness quantifiers for bipartite optical systems: one based on sub-shot-noise correlations, one related to antibunching and one springing from entanglement determination. The specific cases of parametric down conversion seeded by thermal, coherent and squeezed states are discussed in detail.
