Necessary and sufficient conditions for local creation of quantum correlation

Abstract

Quantum correlation can be created by a local operation from some initially classical states. We prove that the necessary and sufficient condition for a local trace-preserving channel to create quantum correlation is that it is not a commutativity-preserving channel. This condition is valid for arbitrary finite dimension systems. We also derive the explicit form of commutativity-preserving channels. For a qubit, a commutativity-preserving channel is either a completely decohering channel or a mixing channel. For a three-dimensional system (qutrit), a commutativity-preserving channel is either a completely decohering channel or an isotropic channel.

Conditions on local operations to create quantum correlation

Xueyuan Hu, Heng Fan, D. L. Zhou +1 more

We prove the condition for local trace-preserving channels to create quantum correlation from initially classical states. For two-qubit states, the necessary and sufficient condition for a channel that cannot create quantum correlation in any initially classical state is that it is either a completely decohering channel or a mixing channel. For states in higher dimensions, we show that even a mixing channel can create quantum correlation from a classically correlated state. Our results reveal that mixedness is important for creation of quantum correlation in high-dimension quantum systems.

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the local creation of quantum discord

Yu Guo, Jinchuan Hou

Quantum discord (QD) is one of the main quantum correlations in quantum information theory. In this paper, we show that a local channel cannot create QD for zero QD states of size d ⩾ 3 if and only if either it is a completely decohering channel or it is a nontrivial isotropic channel. For the qubit case this property is an additional characteristic of the completely decohering channel or the commutativity-preserving unital channel. In particular, the exact forms of the completely decohering channel and the commutativity-preserving unital qubit channel are proposed. Consequently, our results confirm and improve the conjecture proposed by Hu et al for the case of d ⩾ 3 and improve the result proposed by Streltsov et al for the qubit case.

Quantum channels that preserve the commutativity

Sixia Yu, Chengjie Zhang, Qing Chen +1 more

We identify and characterize all the local quantum channels that preserves the set of classical states, i.e., does not create any quantum correlations. At first we show that the quantum correlations cannot be created from without if and only if the local quantum channel preserves the commutativity, i.e., the images of any two commuting states also commute. And then we provide an operational necessary and sufficient criterion for a known quantum channel to preserve the commutativity as well as a single observable to witness an arbitrary unknown commutativity-preserving channel. All the distance-based measures for quantum correlations, e.g., the geometric measure, are non-increasing while the quantum discord defined by von Neumann measurements can be increasing or decreasing under local commutativity-preserving channels.

Local channels preserving the states without measurement-induced nonlocality

Yu Jing Guo, Jinchuan Hou

Measurement-induced nonlocality is a measure of nonlocality introduced recently by Luo and Fu. We present here sufficient and necessary conditions for a quantum state for which this quantity is equal to zero. Furthermore it is shown that for such a state ?ab with any local channel acting on Ha cannot create measurement-induced nonlocality if and only if either it is a completely contractive channel or it is a nontrivial isotropic channel. For the qubit case this property is an additional characteristic of the completely contractive channel or the commutativity-preserving unital channel.

Local quantum channels preserving classical correlations

Zhihua Guo, Huaixin Cao

The aim of this paper is to discuss local quantum channels that preserve classical correlations. First, we give two equivalent characterizations of classical correlated states. Then we obtain the relationships among classical correlation-preserving local quantum channels, commutativity-preserving local quantum channels and commutativity-preserving quantum channels on each subsystem. Furthermore, for a two-qubit system, we show the general form of classical correlation-preserving local quantum channels.

Necessary and sufficient range-dimension conditions for bipartite quantum correlations

Fedor Herbut

As is well known, every mixed or pure state of a bipartite quantum system is given by a statistical operator, which determines, in terms of its two reduced statistical operators, the subsystem states. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a composite-system state, and, separately, for the possibility of its being correlated or uncorrelated in terms of the range dimensions of the three mentioned statistical operators are derived. As a corollary, it is shown that it cannot happen that two of the mentioned dimensions are finite and the third is infinite.
