Abstract Relative robustness of quantum correlations (RRoQC) of a bipartite state is firstly introduced relative to a classically correlated state. Robustness of quantum correlations (RoQC) of a bipartite state is then defined as the minimum of RRoQC of the state relative to all classically correlated ones. It is proved that as a function on quantum states, RoQC is nonnegative, lower semi-continuous and neither convex nor concave; especially, it is zero if and only if the state is classically correlated. Thus, RoQC not only quantifies the endurance of quantum correlations of a state against linear noise, but also can be used to distinguish between quantum and classically correlated states. Furthermore, the effects of local quantum channels on the robustness are explored and characterized.
We investigate the general monogamy and polygamy relations satisfied by quantum correlation measures. We show that there exist two real numbers $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ and $\ensuremath{\beta}$ such that for any quantum correlation measure
Q,Qx is monogamous if $x\ensuremath{\ge}\ensuremath{\alpha}$ and polygamous if $0\ensuremath{\le}x\ensuremath{\le}\ensuremath{\beta}$ for a given multipartite state $\ensuremath{\rho}$. For $\ensuremath{\beta}<x<\ensuremath{\alpha}$, we show that the monogamy relation can be superactivated by finite
m copies ${\ensuremath{\rho}}^{\ensuremath{\bigotimes}m}$ of $\ensuremath{\rho}$ for nonadditive correlation measures. As a detailed example, we use the negativity as the quantum correlation measure to illustrate such superactivation of monogamy properties. A tighter monogamy relation is presented at last.
Abstract The classification and quantification of quantum correlations are the important issues in quantum information theory. Quantum relative entropy and Rényi relative entropy are both non-negative, and can therefore be regarded as generalized distances between quantum states. We first introduced the method proposed by Brodutch and Modi for constructing measurements of classical and quantum correlations. Subsequently, we use this method to construct measurement-induced geometric classical and quantum correlations based on quantum relative entropy and Rényi− 1 2 relative entropy. For two-qubit Bell diagonal states, the analytic expressions for these geometric classical correlations and quantum correlations are obtained.
