Abstract

It is shown that all statistical moments of a quantum state with definite parity are given by derivatives of the Wigner function at the origin of the phase plane. New inequalities connecting statistical moments of arbitrary (pure and mixed) quantum states with derivatives of the Wigner function are also derived. Applications to the problem of decoherence are considered.
