Abstract

We derive the compact closed forms of local quantum uncertainty (LQU) and local quantum Fisher information (LQFI) for hybrid qubit-qutrit axially symmetric (AS) states. This allows us to study the quantum correlations in detail and present some essentially novel results for spin-(1/2, 1) systems, the Hamiltonian of which contains ten independent types of physically important parameters. As an application of the derived formulas, we study the behavior of these two quantum correlation measures at thermal equilibrium. New features are observed in their behavior that are important for quantum information processing. Specifically, cascades of sudden changes in the behavior of LQU and LQFI are found with a smooth change in temperature or interaction parameters. Interestingly, in some cases, sudden transitions are observed in the behavior of LQU but not in LQFI, and vice versa. Moreover, our compact formulas open a way to apply them to other problems, for instance, when investigating the environmental effects on quantum correlations in open systems.

Comparative Study of LQU and LQFI Measures of Quantum Correlations in Two-Spin-1/2 Heisenberg Systems

Mikhail A. Yurischev

Abstract Many measures of quantum correlations have been introduced so far, and now their properties are carefully studied both theoretically and experimentally. The most important among them are quantum entanglement and quantum discord. Recently, it was shown that the Wigner–Yanase skew information and quantum Fisher information also can serve as measures of nonclassical correlations. These discordlike measures are called local quantum uncertainty (LQU) and interferometric power or local quantum Fisher information (LQFI), correspondingly. In this paper the behavior of LQU and LQFI is considered at thermal equilibrium of the two-qubit Heisenberg models in the absence and presence of an external magnetic field; these cases correspond to the Bell-diagonal and general X states, respectively.

Local quantum Fisher information and local quantum uncertainty in two-qubit Heisenberg XYZ chain with Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interactions

Soroush Haseli

Abstract Quantum correlations play an important role in quantum information theory. Quantum Fisher information (QFI) via local observables and via local measurements (i.e. local QFI (LQFI)) is a fundamental concept in quantum estimation and quantum metrology. LQFI captures the quantumness of correlations in a multicomponent quantum system. This new discord-like measure is very similar to the quantum correlations measure called local quantum uncertainty (LQU). In this work we will study the LQFI and the LQU in the two-qubit Heisenberg XYZ spin chain model with Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya (DM) interaction in the z -direction. Here we show that the DM interaction and spin interactions along the x - and z -axes can increase and maintain LQFI and LQU. It is also shown that because of thermal fluctuations LQFI and LQU are decreased by increasing temperature. They are equal to one at very low temperature and start to decay only after a thereshold temperature.

Behavior of local quantum Fisher information and local quantum uncertainty in dipolar spin system with DM and KSEA interactions

Youssef Khedif, Abdelghani Errehymy, Mohammed Daoud A

In this paper, a two-spin-1/2 particle coupled via dipolar interaction with the interplay of antisymmetric Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya and symmetric Kaplan–Shekhtman–Entin–Wohlman–Aharony interactions is considered at thermal equilibrium. The local quantum uncertainty and local quantum Fisher information are investigated as the pairwise nonclassical correlations quantifiers. The effects of the different system parameters on the quantified quantum correlation are analyzed in detail. Our results showed that the two studied thermal quantum correlation measures have similar qualitative behavior as well as quantitative sometimes. Also, it is shown that the quantumness of correlations is lost as the temperature rises sufficiently. Nevertheless, the antisymmetric and symmetric contributions of spin-orbit coupling considerably improve the amount of quantum correlations. Our analysis emphasized also that the local quantum uncertainty is bounded by local quantum Fisher information.

Effects of DM and KSEA interactions on entanglement, Fisher and Wigner-Yanase information correlations of two XYZ-Heisenberg-qubit states under a magnetic field

Safae Gaidi, Abdallah Slaoui, A.‐B. A. Mohamed +2 more

Abstract We employ entanglement negativity, local quantum uncertainty (LQU), and local quantum Fisher information (LQFI) to characterize thermal entanglement between two XYZ-Heisenberg-qubit states under the influence of Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya(DM) and Kaplan-Shekhtman-Entin-Wohlman-Aharony (KSEA) interactions, as well as a magnetic field and thermal equilibrium temperature. A comparative examination reveals similar behaviors among these correlation measures. For the antiferromagnetic scenario, we observe that increasing the DM interaction parameter D z enhances thermal entanglement. Conversely, in the ferromagnetic case, the behavior of thermal entanglement differs with varying D z . Additionally, employing Kraus operators, we explore the performance of these quantifiers under decoherence. Notably, LQFI exhibits greater robustness than negativity and LQU, even displaying a frozen phenomenon at some time under dephasing effects.

Dynamics of local quantum uncertainty and local quantum fisher information for a two-qubit system driven by classical phase noisy laser

Luping Chen, You-neng Guo

In this paper, the dynamics of quantum correlation quantified by local quantum uncertainty (LQU) and local quantum Fisher information (LQFI) for two uncoupled qubits driven by classical phase noisy laser have been investigated. The results show that, both LQU and LQFI exhibit similar behaviours, either display exponential decay or oscillatory decay with revivals depending on the ratios of classical phase noisy laser rate and system-environment coupling strength. Beside, our results also confirm the amount of quantum correlation measured by LQU is strictly bounded by LQFI in an open system. Finally, we propose a scheme to protect quantum correlation against classical phase noisy laser with the technique of weak measurement and reversal.

Thermal Quantum Correlations in Coupled Andreev Spin Qubits: Interplay of Superconducting Phase and Spin-Orbit Interaction

Mohammad Reza Pourkarimi, Mina Shiri, Mehdi Monemi +1 more

We investigate thermal quantum correlations in a system of two coupled superconducting spin qubits described by an effective Andreev spin-qubit Hamiltonian in the presence of spin-orbit interaction. Using Local Quantum Fisher Information (LQFI) and Local Quantum Uncertainty (LQU) as quantum-correlation quantifiers, we analyze the effects of the superconducting phase difference, tunneling amplitude, spin-orbit coupling, and temperature on the nonclassical properties of the system. Analytical expressions for the thermal density matrix are obtained and employed to evaluate both quantities. Our results show that quantum correlations decrease monotonically with increasing temperature, while stronger tunneling and spin-orbit interaction significantly enhance their robustness. Moreover, the superconducting phase introduces a pronounced periodic behavior through the modulation of the effective exchange couplings, leading to constructive and destructive interference regimes that strongly influence the correlations. By analyzing the energy spectrum of the effective Hamiltonian, we demonstrate that the enhancement of quantum correlations is closely associated with an increased energy gap between the ground and first excited states, which suppresses thermal excitations and stabilizes the correlated ground state. Furthermore, LQFI is consistently larger than LQU throughout the investigated parameter space, reflecting its higher sensitivity to quantum fluctuations and local parameter estimation. These findings reveal the microscopic mechanism governing thermal quantum correlations in Andreev spin qubits and highlight the important roles of phase engineering, spin-orbit interaction, and tunneling in protecting quantum resources in hybrid superconducting quantum devices.
