Quantum many-body states generally cannot be efficiently simulated on classical computers. However, certain classes of states with special structure admit efficient representations and simulations. Among these, fermionic Gaussian states are fully characterized by their two-point correlation functions. In this work, we investigate two measures of fermionic non-Gaussianity, which quantify how close a given state is to being Gaussian: the occupation number entropy, defined in terms of the eigenvalues of the correlation matrix, and the natural orbital Rényi entropy, given by the participation entropy in the basis that diagonalizes the correlation matrix. We present efficient methods to compute these quantities and analyze their connection to classical simulability and the complexity of state preparation. Additionally, we prove the monotonicity of these measures under specific conditions. Finally, we demonstrate their behavior in several models.
