Steerability Of Local Quantum Coherence

Abstract

The bipartite state is said to be steerable iff it does not have single system description, i.e., the bipartite state can not be explained by local hidden state model [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 98}, 140402 (2007)]. Several steering inequalities have been derived using different local uncertainty relations to verify the control on the state of one subsystem by other. Here, we derive complementarity kind of relations between coherences measured on mutually unbiased bases using various coherence measures like the $l_1$-norm, relative entropy and skew information. Using these relations, we formulate steering inequalities to check whether one subsystem has control to the coherence of the other entangled subsystem. According to our results, all pure entangled states are maximally steerable but for mixed entangled states, coherence steerability needs stronger non-local correlation than the existing state steering inequalities. We also show that our steering criteria is monogamous.

Nonlocal advantage of quantum coherence

Debasis Mondal, Tanumoy Pramanik, Arun Kumar Pati

A bipartite state is said to be steerable if and only if it does not have a single-system description, i.e., the bipartite state cannot be explained by a local hidden state model. Several steering inequalities have been derived using different local uncertainty relations to verify the ability to control the state of one subsystem by the other party. Here, we derive complementarity relations between coherences measured on mutually unbiased bases using various coherence measures such as the ${l}_{1}$-norm, relative entropy, and skew information. Using these relations, we derive conditions under which a nonlocal advantage of quantum coherence can be achieved and the state is steerable. We show that not all steerable states can achieve such an advantage.

Quantum conditional entropies and steerability of states with maximally mixed marginals

Komal Kumar, Nirman Ganguly

Quantum steering is an asymmetric correlation which occupies a place between entanglement and Bell nonlocality. In the paradigmatic scenario involving the protagonists Alice and Bob, the entangled state shared between them is said to be steerable from Alice to Bob if the steering assemblage on Bob's side does not admit a local hidden state (LHS) description. Quantum conditional entropies, on the other hand, provide for another characterization of quantum correlations. Contrary to our common intuition, conditional entropies for some entangled states can be negative, marking a significant departure from the classical realm. Quantum steering and quantum nonlocality, in general, share an intricate relation with quantum conditional entropies. In the present contribution, we investigate this relationship. For a significant class, namely the two-qubit Weyl states, we show that negativity of conditional R\'enyi 2-entropy and conditional Tsallis 2-entropy is a necessary and sufficient condition for the violation of a suitably chosen three settings steering inequality. With respect to the same inequality we find an upper bound for the conditional R\'enyi 2-entropy, such that the general two-qubit state is steerable. Moving from a particular steering inequality to local hidden-state descriptions, we show that some two-qubit Weyl states which admit a LHS model possess nonnegative conditional R\'enyi 2-entropy. However, the same does not hold true for some non-Weyl states. Our study further investigates the relation between nonnegativity of conditional entropy and LHS models in two-qudits for the isotropic and Werner states. There we find that, whenever these states admit a LHS model, they possess a nonnegative conditional R\'enyi 2-entropy. We then observe that the same holds true for a noisy variant of the two-qudit Werner state.

Verification of complementarity relations between quantum steering criteria using an optical system

Huan Yang, Zhiyong Ding, Xue‐Ke Song +5 more

The ability that one system immediately affects another one by using local measurements is regarded as quantum steering, which can be detected by various steering criteria. Recently, Mondal et al. [Phys. Rev. A 98, 052330 (2018)] derived the complementarity relations of coherence steering criteria, and revealed that the quantum steering of a system can be observed through the average coherence of a subsystem. Here, we experimentally verify the complementarity relations between quantum steering criteria by employing two-photon Bell-like states and three Pauli operators. The results demonstrate that if prepared quantum states can violate two setting coherence steering criteria and turn out to be steerable states, then they cannot violate the complementary settings criteria. Three measurement settings inequalities, which establish a set of complementarity relations between these two coherence steering criteria, are always obeyed by all prepared quantum states in experiment. In addition, we experimentally certify that the strengths of coherence steering criteria depend on the choice of coherence measure. In comparison with two setting coherence steering criteria based on ${l}_{1}$ norm of coherence and relative entropy of coherence, our experimental results show that the steering criterion based on skew information of coherence is the strongest in detecting the steerability of two-photon Bell-like states. Thus, our experimental demonstration can deepen the understanding of the relation between the quantum steering and quantum coherence.

Thus, our experimental demonstrations can deepen the understanding of the relation between the quantum steering and quantum coherence.

Faithful certification of steering- and incompatibility-breaking channels

Po-Ting Hsu, Shin-Liang Chen

We consider a quantum steering scenario where Alice prepares a bipartite state, sends one subsystem to Bob through a quantum channel, and aims to convince him that their shared state is entangled. Bob, however, will never be convinced if the channel is steering-breaking, that is, if the channel destroys steerability for any input state. To verify that a channel renders a state useless for demonstrating steering, one must consider all possible measurements performed by Alice and check if the conditional states Bob receives admit a local-hidden-state (LHS) model. This is generally a hard problem since it requires considering an infinite number of measurement combinations. Here, we show that the method proposed in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 117, 190401 (2016); Phys. Rev. Lett. 117, 190402 (2016)] can be utilized to tackle this problem. Furthermore, owing to the intimate relation between steering and measurement incompatibility, our approach can faithfully certify whether a channel destroys incompatibility for any set of measurements. Finally, we propose an experimental criterion for certifying steering- and incompatibility-breaking channels, which may be of independent interest.

Computable steering criterion for bipartite quantum systems

Guo‐Zhu Pan, Jun‐Long Zhao, Zhi Lin +3 more

Quantum steering describes the ability of one observer to nonlocally affect the other observer's state through local measurements, which represents a new form of quantum nonlocal correlation and has potential applications in quantum information and quantum communication. In this paper, we propose a computable steering criterion that is applicable to bipartite quantum systems of arbitrary dimensions. The criterion can be used to verify a wide range of steerable states directly from a given density matrix without constructing measurement settings. Compared with the existing steering criteria, it is readily computable and testable in experiment, which can also be used to verify entanglement as all steerable quantum states are entangled.
