Generalized measurement schemes on one part of bipartite states, which would leave the set of all separable states insensitive are explored here to understand quantumness of correlations in a more general perspective. This is done by employing linear maps associated with generalized projective measurements. A generalized measurement corresponds to a quantum operation mapping a density matrix to another density matrix, preserving its positivity, hermiticity, and trace class. The positive operator valued measure (POVM) — employed earlier in the literature to optimize the measures of classical/quantum correlations — correspond to completely positive (CP) maps. The other class, the not completely positive (NCP) maps, are investigated here, in the context of measurements, for the first time. It is shown that such NCP projective maps provide a new clue to the understanding of quantumness of correlations in a general setting. Especially, the separability–classicality dichotomy gets resolved only when both the classes of projective maps (CP and NCP) are incorporated as optimizing measurements. An explicit example of a separable state — exhibiting nonzero quantum discord, when possible optimizing measurements are restricted to POVMs — is reexamined with this extended scheme incorporating NCP projective maps to elucidate the power of this approach.

We present a scheme for realizing open-destination and controlled teleportation of a single-qubit rotation gate, albeit probabilistically, by using partially entangled pairs of particles. In the scheme, a quantum rotation is faithfully teleported onto any one of N spatially separated receivers under the control of the (N-1) unselected receivers in a network. We first present the three-destination and controlled teleportation of a rotation gate by using three partially entangled pairs, and then generalize the scheme to the case of N-destination. In our scheme, the sender's local generalized measurement described by a positive operator-valued measurement (POVM) lies at the heart. We construct the required POVM. The fact that deterministic and exact teleportation of a rotation gate could be realized using partially entangled pairs is notable.

We propose a method for implementing remotely a generalized measurement (POVM). We show that remote generalized measurements consume less entanglement compared with remote projective measurements, and can be optimally performed using non-maximally entangled states. We derive the entanglement cost of such measurements.
