Quantum correlation is an important resource in quantum information, quantum computation, and quantum metrology. Quantum entanglement, Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) quantum steering and Bell nonlocality are the major quantum correlations. For quantum entanglement and Bell nonlocality, two subsystems play the same significant roles. EPR quantum steering is stronger than entanglement and weaker than Bell nonlocality. It represents the ability of one subsystem to nonlocally affect another subsystem's states through local measurements. In this paper, the dynamic quantum correlation between the modes in the two-site Bose-Hubbard model is investigated. According to Hillery-Zubairy entanglement criterion and based on maximum mean quantum Fisher information, the influences of initial states on the quantum entanglement evolutions are explored. If the coupling between the modes is much greater than that of the particles at the same site, and the initial states are symmetric or anti-symmetric SU(2) coherent states, the quantum correlations show simple periodic evolutions. The oscillation amplitudes of the evolutions increase with the interaction between the particles at the same site. The oscillation period decreases with the coupling strength between the modes. The dependence of the period on the interaction of the particles at the same site is related to the initial states. In other words, the time evolutions of quantum correlation are closely related to the symmetry of the initial states. In the case of symmetric (anti-symmetric) SU(2) coherent state and repulsive (attractive) interaction of the particles at the same site, the system presents two-way quantum steering. When the subsystem exchange symmetry of the initial states is broken, the collapse and revival of quantum correlation appear, moreover one-way quantum steering emerges in the infancy. One-way quantum steering is asymmetric for two subsystems. So exchange asymmetry of the initial state is necessary condition of one-way quantum steering when the Hamiltonian of the system is symmetric for two subsystems.

By using the Born Markovian master equation, we study the relationship among the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering, Bell nonlocality, and quantum entanglement of entangled coherent states (ECSs) under decoherence. We illustrate the dynamical behavior of the three types of correlations for various optical field strength regimes. In general, we find that correlation measurements begin at their maximum and decline over time. We find that quantum steering and nonlocality behave similarly in terms of photon number during dynamics. Furthermore, we discover that ECSs with steerability can violate the Bell inequality, and that not every ECS with Bell nonlocality is steerable. In the current work, without the memory stored in the environment, some of the initial states with maximal values of quantum steering, Bell nonlocality, and entanglement can provide a delayed loss of that value during temporal evolution, which is of interest to the current study.
Bell nonlocality and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering are every important quantum correlations of a composite quantum system. Bell nonlocality of a bipartite state is a quantum correlation demonstrated by some local quantum measurements, while EPR steering is another form of quantum correlations, observed firstly by Schrodinger in the context of famous EPR paradox. In this paper, we give some remarks on Bell nonlocality and EPR steering of bipartite states, including mathematical definitions and characterizations of these two quantum correlations, the convexity and closedness of the set of all Bell local states and the set of all EPR unsteerable states. We also derive a EPR-steering criteria, with which the EPR steerability of the maximally entangled states are checked.
We address the dynamics of quantum coherence, quantum correlations, quantum steering and Bell nonlocality in a model of two interacting qubits, initially prepared in a thermal state. The two qubit are coupled via a dipolar interaction and exposed to Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya (DM) interaction and classical fluctuating fields influenced by Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (OU)-Static (ST) mixed noise in common environments. We analyse the dynamics effects on quantum resources, as Bell nonlocality, quantum steering, quantum entanglement, quantum discord and quantum coherence. We find that the dynamics of quantum correlations are not only strongly affected by the type of system-environment coupling but also by the kind of the considered noise. The entanglement diminution is over time, accompanied by damped oscillations, indicative of coherent dynamics. The DM interaction induces a decrease in quantum coherence and correlations with increasing values, leading to complete maximizing at critical thresholds. The effects of thermal effects destroy the quantum correlation. The variations in state noise disorder parameters reveal enhanced preservation and reduced oscillations as the noise disorder parameter decreases, emphasizing its crucial role in shaping quantum correlations.
Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering is an intermediate type of quantum nonlocality which sits between entanglement and Bell nonlocality. A set of correlations is Bell nonlocal if it does not admit a local hidden variable (LHV) model, while it is EPR nonlocal if it does not admit a local hidden variable--local hidden state (LHV-LHS) model. It is interesting to know what states can generate EPR-nonlocal correlations in the simplest nontrivial scenario, that is, two projective measurements for each party sharing a two-qubit state. Here we show that a two-qubit state can generate EPR-nonlocal full correlations (excluding marginal statistics) in this scenario if and only if it can generate Bell-nonlocal correlations. If full statistics (including marginal statistics) is taken into account, surprisingly, the same scenario can manifest the simplest one-way steering and the strongest hierarchy between steering and Bell nonlocality. To illustrate these intriguing phenomena in simple setups, several concrete examples are discussed in detail, which facilitates experimental demonstration. In the course of study, we introduce the concept of restricted LHS models and thereby derive a necessary and sufficient semidefinite-programming criterion to determine the steerability of any bipartite state under given measurements. Analytical criteria are further derived in several scenarios of strong theoretical and experimental interest.
Abstract The possibility of generating of some quantum correlations of entangled or separable initial two-qubit system interacts with a deformed cavity mode on the presence of dipole-dipole interaction is discussed. These quantum correlations are the coherence, non-separability, and steering degrees, which are quantifiers by using l1 norm of coherence, Entanglement of Formation (EoF), and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR)-steering. It is shown that, maximizing or minimizing the quantum correlations depend on the initial settings states of the two-qubit system. To maximize the quantum correlations on the presences of deformation, one has to prepare the initial two-qubit system in an entangled state, setting large values of the coupling dipole and decreasing the effect of deformation parameter.
Abstract Entanglement and Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering are nonlocal quantum correlations, which are relevant resources for quantum information protocols. EPR steering, or quantum steering, refers to the correlation where a party might ‘steer’, or modify, the state of another, which is spatially separated. Entanglement is a symmetric resource while steering is asymmetrical, since it depends on the direction of the effect. Due to these different characteristics and the therefore different possible applications, there has been both theoretical and experimental research on forms to certify the distinct quantum nonlocal correlations. In recent years, alongside the investigation on quantum correlations between two systems, there has been a great interest in investigating multipartite/multimode entanglement as well as steering, since they include a high dimension and it may be possible to store more information than in a single qubit. In this review, we will summarize the different criteria and measures that have been developed for the characterization of these two kinds of correlations. We first focus on bipartite entanglement and steering. We then review the progress that has been made in the investigation of multipartite quantum correlations. We revise the theoretical work in quantum nonlocal correlation witnesses and measures, which respectively allow one to certify that the system is entangled or presents EPR steering, and give a quantification of the content of these correlations in the system. Then, we briefly review the experiments that have been designed and that demonstrate multipartite quantum correlations. We also include applications in quantum information protocols, in particular in quantum teleportation and quantum cryptography.
