Abstract

The study of the connections between entanglement and non-classicality has seen an increasing interest in the last few years. Several forms of entanglement witnesses have been proposed to reveal and quantify the entangle ment of a particular state or a particular class of states. Non-classicality indicators have been proposed so as to quantify quantum correlations in two-qubit states. It has been demonstrated that there are interesting situations in which non-entangled states (i.e. separable) can behave in a non-classical way.

Non-classicality indicators and extremal quantum correlations in two-qubit states

Davide Girolami, Mauro Paternostro, Gerardo Adesso

School of Mathematics and Physics, Queen’s University, Belfast BT7 1NN, United Kingdom(Dated: August 22, 2010)We investigate quantum correlations versus global von Neumann entropy, focusing explicitly on two-qubitstates. We establish a hierarchy of non-classicality indicators, showing that the measurement-induced distur-bance (MID) defined in [S. Luo, Phys. Rev. A, 77, 022301 (2008)] can be non-null and even maximal on“classical” states. We thus consider an ameliorated versio n of MID, optimized over all local measurements, andderive its expression for general two-qubit states. We thenstudy the analytical relation between amelioratedMID and quantum discord, characterizing the maximally non-classical two-qubit mixed states that simultane-ously extremize both such non-classicality quantifiers at given von Neumann entropy.

Entanglement and Its Verification: A Tutorial on Classical and Quantum Correlations

Enno Giese

Entanglement, a defining property of quantum mechanics in which two physical subsystems cannot be seen as independent entities, challenges our everyday experience and classical intuition. However, only such strong quantum correlations enable quantum technologies, including quantum computing or communication, while revealing the limits of our classical worldview by violating local realism. Given its importance in modern quantum science, we present this tutorial addressing the questions: What is entanglement, how does it differ from classical correlations, and how can it be experimentally verified? Using celebrated examples, such as Schrödinger's cat, we highlight the distinction between classical and quantum correlations and illustrate the definition of entangled and separable states. We review entanglement criteria by discussing Heisenberg-type uncertainty relations for continuous variables and the CHSH inequality for discrete systems. Focusing on concepts of quantum correlations and operational entanglement witnesses, we provide accessible tools and illustrative examples aimed at demystifying entanglement for a broad readership.

ENTROPIC MEASURES OF NON-CLASSICAL CORRELATIONS

MATTHIAS D. LANG, Carlton M. Caves, Anil Shaji

A framework for categorizing entropic measures of non-classical correlations in bipartite quantum states is presented. The measures are based on the difference between a quantum entropic quantity and the corresponding classical quantity obtained from measurements on the two systems. Three types of entropic quantities are used, and three different measurement strategies are applied to these quantities. Many of the resulting measures of non-classical correlations have been proposed previously. Properties of the various measures are explored, and results of evaluating the measures for two-qubit quantum states are presented.

CLASSICALITY WITNESS FOR TWO-QUBIT STATES

Jonas Maziero, ROBERTO M. SERRA

In the last few years one realized that if the state of a bipartite system can be written as ∑i,j pij|ai〉〈ai| ⊗ |bj〉〈bj|, where {|ai〉} and {|bj〉} form orthonormal basis for the subsystems and {pij} is a probability distribution, then it possesses at most classical correlations. In this article we introduce a nonlinear witness providing a sufficient condition for classicality of correlations (absence of quantum discord) in a broad class of two-qubit systems. Such witness turns out to be necessary and sufficient condition in the case of Bell-diagonal states. We show that the witness introduced here can be readily experimentally implemented in nuclear magnetic resonance setups.

Quantifying quantum entanglement in two-qubit mixed state from connected correlator

Xingyu Guo, Chen‐Te Ma

Our study employs a connected correlation matrix to quantify quantum entanglement. The matrix encompasses all necessary measures for assessing the degree of entanglement between particles. We begin with a three-qubit state and involve obtaining a mixed state by performing partial tracing over one qubit. Our goal is to exclude the non-connected sector by focusing on the connected correlation. This suggests that the connected correlation is deemed crucial for capturing relevant entanglement degrees. The study classifies mixed states and observes that separable states exhibit the lowest correlation within each class. We demonstrate that the entanglement measure monotonically increases concerning the correlation measure. This implies that connected correlation serves as an effective measure of quantum entanglement. Finally, our proposal suggests that interpreting quantum entanglement from a local perspective is possible. The observable is described as a vector with locality but violates freedom of choice.
