Phase-space features of the Wigner flow are examined so to provide a set of continuity equations that describe the flux of quantum information in the phase-space. The reported results suggest that the non-classicality profile of anharmonic (periodic) quantum systems can be consistently obtained in terms of the fluxes of probability, purity and von Neumann entropy. Extensions of the such phase-space quantifiers are also investigated in the context of the so-called Renyi entropy.

Nonclassicality criteria from phase-space representations and information-theoretical constraints are maximally inequivalent.

It is proved that the two defining criteria for defining the nonclassicality of bipartite bosonic quantum systems are maximally inequivalent, and suggested that there are other quantum correlations in nature than those revealed by entanglement and quantum discord.
