We consider a monogamy inequality of quantum discord in a pure tripartite state and show that it is equivalent to an inequality between quantum mutual information and entanglement of formation of two parties. Since this inequality does not hold for arbitrary bipartite states, quantum discord can generally be both monogamous and polygamous. We also carry out numerical calculations for some special states. The upper bounds of quantum discord and classical correlation are also discussed and we give physical analysis on the invalidness of a previous conjectured upper bound of quantum correlation. Our results provide new insights for further understanding of distributions of quantum correlations.

We study the dynamics of the pairwise quantum discord (QD), classical correlation (CC), and entanglement of formation (EOF) for the three-qubit W-class state |W>_{123}=\frac 12(|100>_{123}+|010>_{123}+\sqrt{2}|001>_{123}) under the influence of various Markovian noises by analytically solving the master equation in the Lindblad form. Through numerical analysis, we find that EOF decreases asymptotically to zero with time for the dephasing noise, but it undergoes sudden death for the bit-flip noise, the isotropic noise, as well as the dissipative and noisy environments. Moreover, QD decays to zero in an asymptotical way for all the noises we investigated. Thus, when the W-class state |W>_{123} is subject to the above Markovian noises, QD is more robust than EOF against decoherence excluding the phase-flip noise, implying that QD is more useful than entanglement to characterize the quantum correlation. We also find a remarkable character for the CC in the presence of the phase-flip noise, i.e., CC displays the behavior of sudden transition and then keeps constant permanently, but the corresponding QD just exhibits a very small sudden change. Furthermore, we verify the monogamic relation between the pairwise QD and EOF of the W-class state.

We built a new set of suitable measures of correlations for bipartite quantum states based upon a recently introduced theoretical framework [Bussandri et al. in Quantum Inf. Proc. 18:57, 2019]. We applied these measures to examine the behavior of correlations in two-qubit states with maximally mixed marginals independently interacting with non-dissipative decohering environments in different dynamical scenarios of physical relevance. In order to get further insight about the physical meaning of the behavior of these correlation measures we compared our results with those obtained by means of well-known correlation measures such as quantum mutual information and quantum discord. On one hand, we found that the behaviors of total and classical correlations, as assessed by means of the measures introduced in this work, are qualitatively in agreement with the behavior displayed by quantum mutual information and the measure of classical correlations typically used to calculate quantum discord. We also found that the optimization of all the measures of classical correlations depends upon a single parameter and the optimal value of this parameter turns out to be the same in all cases. On the other hand, regarding the measures of quantum correlations used in our studies, we found that in general their behavior does not follow the standard quantum discord D . As the quantification by means of standard quantum discord and the measures of quantum correlations introduced in this work depends upon the assumption that total correlations are additive, our results indicate that this property needs a deeper and systematic study in order to gain a further understanding regarding the possibility to obtain reliable quantifiers of quantum correlations within this additive scheme.

An analytical quantum discord treatment is presented for this family of two-qutrit states. Finally, we compute and illustrate the entanglement of formation, classical mutual information and quantum discord for this family of two-qutrit quantum states.

A quantum error-correcting code is established in entangled coherent states (CSs) with Markovian and non-Markovian environments. However, the dynamic behavior of these optical states is discussed in terms of quantum correlation measurements, entanglement and discord. By using the correcting codes, these correlations can be as robust as possible against environmental effects. As the number of redundant CSs increases due to the repetitive error correction, the probabilities of success also increase significantly. Based on different optical field parameters, the discord can withstand more than an entanglement. Furthermore, the behavior of quantum discord under decoherence may exhibit sudden death and sudden birth phenomena as functions of dimensionless parameters.

In relation to an observable and quantum state, the entity IC from previous work quantifies simultaneously coherence, incompatibility and quantumness. In this paper, its application to quantum correlations in bipartite states is studied. It is shown that Zurek's quantum discord can always be expressed as excess coherence information (global minus local). Strong and weak zero-discord cases are distinguished and investigated in terms of necessary and sufficient and sufficient conditions respectively. A unique string of relevant subsystem observables, each a function of the next, for "interrogating" the global state about the state of the opposite subsystem is derived with detailed entropy and information gain discussion. The apparent disappearance of discord in measurement is investigated, and it is shown that it is actually shifted from between subsystems 1 and 2 to between subsystems 1 and (2 + 3), where 3 is the measuring instrument. Finally, it is shown that the global coherence information IC(A2, ρ12) is shifted into the global coherence information [Formula: see text] in the final state [Formula: see text] of the measurement interaction.

Entanglement Distillation

We study the quantum correlations between source and target pairs in different protocols of entanglement distillation of one kind of entangled states. We find that there does not exist any quantum correlation in the standard recurrence distillation protocol, while quantum discord and even quantum entanglement are always present in the other two cases of the improved distillation protocols. In the three cases, the distillation efficiency improved with the quantum correlations enhanced.

We address the balance of quantum correlations for continuous variable (CV) states. In particular, we consider a class of feasible tripartite CV pure states and explicitly prove two Koashi–Winter-like conservation laws involving Gaussian entanglement of formation (EoF), Gaussian quantum discord and sub-system Von Neumann entropies. We also address the class of tripartite CV mixed states resulting from the propagation in a noisy environment, and discuss how the previous equalities evolve into inequalities.

Entanglement Of Formation

In this paper, we propose a model to describe the geometry of quantum correlations and entanglement through their distinct physical significance in quantum information processing and modern communications. However, geometric discord, using trace, Hilbert–Schmidt distances, and entanglement of formation, is engineered to be a well-defined non-classical correlation measure of an atomic field system. It consists of employing Jaynes–Cummings model to study the interaction between an excited atom at two levels and a single electromagnetic field mode inside an electrodynamic cavity in two cases, namely resonance and non-resonance. In fact, the dynamics of these measures depends decisively on the atom-field initial parameters where, importantly, the field parameters can be specified as control settings to implement an optimal teleportation protocol. The obtained results reveal that the behaviors of teleported geometric quantum discord and entanglement are similar to those displayed for maximum fidelity in terms of fully entanglement fraction. Therefore, since fidelity always exceeds the classical limit, one can design a quantum teleportation scheme with robust fidelity superior to any conventional communication protocol.

Quantum And Classical Correlations

The characterization of quantum discord (QD) has been well understood only for two-qubit states and is little known for mixed states beyond qubits. In this work, thermal quantum discord is studied for a qutrit system in different magnetic fields, where classical correlation and entanglement negativity are calculated for comparison. It is shown that the discord is more robust against temperature than the negativity. For a suitable region of magnetic field and its direction, the discord is non-zero while the negativity is zero. When the system is at a lower temperature, these three quantities, however, display a similar behavior for the varied field and direction, and their discontinuities come from crossovers between different ground states in the system. Moreover, the inequality between the quantum and classical correlations depends upon the system parameters as well as the temperature. In particular, both correlations are equal at a suitable field, direction, and temperature. Remarkably, such an equality remains for a strong field in the antiparallel direction, while both correlations in two-qubit systems are identical for any antiparallel field and temperature. These are useful for quantum information and understanding quantum correlations in qutrit mixed states.

Phase Decoherence

Two two-level systems generated by su(2) algebra are initially prepared in a maximum nonsymmetric Bell state and having no mutual interaction. Each su(2)-system spatially interacts with two-mode cavity field in the nondegenerate parametric amplifier type cast through operators governed by su(1, 1) Lie algebra. An analytical description for the time evolution of the final state of the total system with the effect of intrinsic decoherence is found. Therefore, the robustness of the quantum correlations between the two su(2)-system is investigated by means of geometric quantum discord, measurement-induced nonlocality and negativity. We analyze in some detail the influence of initial coherence intensities, detuning and phase decoherence parameters on the steady-state correlation. We find that the steady-state correlations can be generated and enhanced by controlling the parameters of: the initial coherence intensities, the Bargmman index and the detuning. It is shown that the phenomenon of sudden death and re-birth of entanglement, and the sudden changes of the geometric quantum correlation can be controlled by these parameters. We find that the robustness of the quantum correlation can be greatly enhanced by the Bargmman index and the resonance detuning. Negativity is the measure most susceptible to phase decoherence, while geometric quantum discord and measurement-induced nonlocality are the more robust measures.
