Abstract

A global measure of quantum correlations for tripartite nonorthogonal states is presented. It is introduced as the overall average of the pairwise correlations existing in all possible partitions. The explicit expressions for the global measure are derived for squared concurrence, entanglement of formation, quantum discord and its geometric variant. As illustration, we consider even and odd three-mode Schrödinger cat states based on Glauber coherent states. We also discuss limitations to sharing quantum correlations known as monogamy relations.

QUANTUM CORRELATIONS DYNAMICS OF QUASI-BELL CAT STATES

Mohammed Daoud A, R. Ahl Laamara, R. Essaber

A model of dynamics of quantum correlations of two modes quasi-Bell cat states, based on Glauber coherent states, is considered. The analytic expressions of pairwise entanglement of formation, quantum discord and its geometrized variant are explicitly derived. We analyze the distribution of quantum correlations between the two modes and the environment. We show that, in contrast with squared concurrence, entanglement of formation, quantum discord and geometric quantum discord do not follow the property of monogamy except in some particular situations that we discuss.

Global quantum discord in multipartite systems

C. C. Rulli, M. S. Sarandy

We propose a global measure for quantum correlations in multipartite systems, which is obtained by suitably recasting the quantum discord in terms of relative entropy and local von Neumann measurements. The measure is symmetric with respect to subsystem exchange and is shown to be nonnegative for an arbitrary state. As an illustration, we consider tripartite correlations in the Werner-GHZ (Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger) state and multipartite correlations at quantum criticality. In particular, in contrast with the pairwise quantum discord, we show that the global quantum discord is able to characterize the infinite-order quantum phase transition in the Ashkin-Teller spin chain.

Multipartite quantum correlations in even and odd spin coherent states

Mohammed Daoud A, R. Ahl Laamara, W. Kaydi

The key ingredient of the approach presented in this paper is the factorization property of SU (2) coherent states upon the splitting or decay of a quantum spin system. In this picture, the even and odd spin coherent states are viewed as comprising two, three or more spin sub-systems. From this perspective, we investigate the multipartite quantum correlations defined as the sum of the correlations of all possible bi-partitions. The pairwise quantum correlations are quantified by entanglement of formation and quantum discord. Special attention is devoted to tripartite splitting schemes. We explicitly derive the sum of the entanglement of formation for all possible bi-partitions. It coincides with the sum of all possible occurrences of pairwise quantum discord. The conservation relation between the distribution of entanglement of formation and quantum discord in the tripartite splitting scheme is discussed. We show that entanglement of formation and quantum discord possess the monogamy property for even spin coherent states, in contrast to odd ones which violate the monogamy relation when the overlap of the coherent states approaches unity.

Monogamy properties of quantum and classical correlations

Gian Luca Giorgi

In contrast with entanglement, as measured by concurrence, in general, quantum discord does not possess the property of monogamy; that is, there is no tradeoff between the quantum discord shared by a pair of subsystems and the quantum discord that both of them can share with a third party. Here, we show that, as far as monogamy is considered, quantum discord of pure states is equivalent to the entanglement of formation. This result allows one to analytically prove that none of the pure three-qubit states belonging to the subclass of $W$ states is monogamous. A suitable physical interpretation of the meaning of the correlation information as a quantifier of monogamy for the total information is also given. Finally, we prove that, for rank 2 two-qubit states, discord and classical correlations are bounded from above by single-qubit von Neumann entropies.

Multipartite quantum correlations in open quantum systems

Zhihao Ma, ZhiHua Chen, F. F. Fanchini

In this paper, we present a measure of quantum correlation for a multipartite system, defined as the sum of the correlations for all possible partitions. Our measure can be defined for quantum discord (QD), geometric quantum discord or even for entanglement of formation (EOF). For tripartite pure states, we show that the multipartite measures for the QD and the EOF are equivalent, which allows direct comparison of the distribution and the robustness of these correlations in open quantum systems. We study dissipative dynamics for two distinct families of entanglement: a W state and a GHZ state. We show that, for the W state, the QD is more robust than the entanglement, while for the GHZ state, this is not true. It turns out that the initial genuine multipartite entanglement present in the GHZ state makes the EOF more robust than the QD.
