Abstract
In this work, the usage of the disentropy of the Wigner function as order and quantumness measure is investigated. Furthermore, the relative disentropy of the Wigner function as a distance measure between two Wigner functions is also discussed. The numerical calculation of the dynamic of the disentropy and relative disentropy of the Wigner function are realized considering an initially pure quantum state that evolves to a classical mixture and when an initially coherent state evolves to a Schrödinger cat state. It is shown that in all cases the disentropy is minimal for the quantum states with maximal quantumness, and it is maximal for maximally ordered states (pure states with positive Wigner function).
