Monogamy deficit for quantum correlations in a multipartite quantum system

Abstract

We introduce the concept of monogamy deficit for quantum correlation by combining two types of monogamy inequalities depending on different measurement sides. For tripartite pure states, we demonstrate a relation which connects two types of monogamy inequalities for quantum discord and provide the difference between them. By using this relation, we obtain a unified physical interpretation for these two monogamy deficits. In addition, we find the interesting fact that there is a general monogamy condition for several quantum correlations for tripartite pure states. We then provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the establishment of one kind of monogamy inequality for tripartite mixed states and generalize it to multipartite quantum states.

Monogamy of quantum discord by multipartite correlations

Helena Braga, C. C. Rulli, Thiago Rodrigues de Oliveira +1 more

We introduce a monogamy inequality for quantum correlations, which implies that the sum of pairwise quantum correlations is upper limited by the amount of multipartite quantum correlations as measured by the global quantum discord. This monogamy bound holds either for pure or mixed quantum states provided that bipartite quantum discord does not increase under discard of subsystems. We illustrate the monogamy behavior for multipartite pure states with Schmidt decomposition as well as for $W$-GHZ mixed states. As a by-product, we apply the monogamy bound to investigate residual multipartite correlations.

Characterization of tripartite quantum states with vanishing monogamy score

Manabendra Nath Bera, R. Prabhu, Aditi Sen +1 more

Quantum discord, an information-theoretic quantum correlation measure, can satisfy as well as violate monogamy for three-party quantum states. We quantify the feature using the concept of discord monogamy score. We find a necessary condition of a vanishing discord monogamy score for arbitrary three-party states. A necessary and sufficient condition is obtained for pure states. We prove that the class of states having a vanishing discord monogamy score cannot have arbitrarily high genuine multipartite entanglement, as quantified by generalized geometric measure. In the special case of three-qubit pure states, their classification with respect to the discord monogamy score reveals a rich structure that is different from that which had been obtained by using the monogamy score corresponding to the entanglement measure called concurrence. We investigate properties like genuine multipartite entanglement and violation of the multipartite Bell inequality for these states.

Exploring multipartite quantum correlations with the square of quantum discord

Yan-Kui Bai, Na Zhang, Ming-Yong Ye +1 more

We explore the quantum correlation distribution in multipartite quantum states based on the square of quantum discord (SQD). For tripartite quantum systems, we derive the necessary and sufficient condition for the SQD to satisfy the monogamy relation. Particularly, we prove that the SQD is monogamous for three-qubit pure states, based on which a genuine tripartite quantum correlation measure is introduced. In addition, we also address the quantum correlation distributions in four-qubit pure states. As an example, we investigate multipartite quantum correlations in the dynamical evolution of multipartite cavity-reservoir systems.

Non-monogamy of quantum discord and upper bounds for quantum correlation

Xi-Jun Ren, Heng Fan

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.

What Does Monogamy in Higher Powers of a Correlation Measure Mean?

P. J. Geetha, Sudha, A. R. Usha Devi

We examine here the proposition that all multiparty quantum states can be made monogamous by considering positive integral powers of any quantum correlation measure. With Rajagopal-Rendell quantum deficit as the measure of quantum correlations for symmetric 3-qubit pure states, we illustrate that monogamy inequality is satisfied for higher powers of quantum deficit. We discuss the drawbacks of this inequality in quantification of correlations in the state. We also prove a monogamy inequality in higher powers of classical mutual information and bring out the fact that such inequality needs not necessarily imply restricted shareability of correlations. We thus disprove the utility of higher powers of any correlation measure in establishing monogamous nature in multiparty quantum states.

Effect of a large number of parties on the monogamy of quantum correlations

Asutosh Kumar, R. Prabhu, Aditi Sen +1 more

Monogamy is a nonclassical property that restricts the sharability of quantum correlation among the constituents of a multipartite quantum system. Quantum correlations may satisfy or violate monogamy for quantum states, which was tested mainly for three-qubit states. Here we establish a sufficient condition for monogamy of arbitrary quantum correlation measures of states of an arbitrary number of parties, using which and further numerical results, we obtain evidence for monogamy of measures such as distillable entanglement and relative entropy of entanglement, which are physically important but mathematically intractable, for almost all quantum states of a moderate number of parties. The result is generic and holds for a large class of quantum correlation measures. Nonetheless, we identify important zero Haar measure classes of pure states that remain nonmonogamous with respect to quantum discord and quantum work deficit, irrespective of the number of qubits.
