Abstract

We investigate the pairwise quantum correlations in standard Gisin states and in Gisin states based on bipartite spin-coherent states by employing quantum negativity and quantum local uncertainty as bona fide quantum correlations measures. Gisin states are defined as mixtures of separable mixed states and some pure entangled ones. We compare the behavior of the two quantifiers of Gisin states and we find that both measures exhibit a sudden change in terms of the mixing parameter. Furthermore, we show that entangled Gisin states contain nonclassical correlations that are captured by the local quantum uncertainty and cannot be revealed by the negativity quantifier.

Characterizing Nonclassical Correlations via Local Quantum Uncertainty

Davide Girolami, Tommaso Tufarelli, Gerardo Adesso

Quantum mechanics predicts that measurements of incompatible observables carry a minimum uncertainty which is independent of technical deficiencies of the measurement apparatus or incomplete knowledge of the state of the system. Nothing yet seems to prevent a single physical quantity, such as one spin component, from being measured with arbitrary precision. Here, we show that an intrinsic quantum uncertainty on a single observable is ineludible in a number of physical situations. When revealed on local observables of a bipartite system, such uncertainty defines an entire class of bona fide measures of nonclassical correlations. For the case of 2 × d systems, we find that a unique measure is defined, which we evaluate in closed form. We then discuss the role that these correlations, which are of the "discord" type, can play in the context of quantum metrology. We show in particular that the amount of discord present in a bipartite mixed probe state guarantees a minimum precision, as quantified by the quantum Fisher information, in the optimal phase estimation protocol.

Invariant entanglement and generation of quantum correlations under global dephasing

Göktuğ Karpat

We investigate the dynamics of quantum entanglement and more general quantum correlations quantified via negativity and local quantum uncertainty, respectively, for two-qubit systems undergoing Markovian collective dephasing. Focusing on a two-parameter family of initial two-qubit density matrices, we study the relation of the emergence of the curious phenomenon of time-invariant entanglement and the dynamical behavior of local quantum uncertainty. Developing an illustrative geometric approach, we demonstrate the existence of distinct regions of quantum entanglement for the considered initial states and identify the region that allows for completely frozen entanglement throughout the dynamics, accompanied by generation of local quantum uncertainty. Furthermore, we present a systematic analysis of different dynamical behaviors of local quantum uncertainty, such as its sudden change or smooth amplification, in relation with the dynamics of entanglement.

Quantum correlations for two-qubit X states through the local quantum uncertainty

L. Jebli, Bilal Benzimoun, Mohammed Daoud A

Local quantum uncertainty is defined as the minimum amount of uncertainty in measuring a local observable for a bipartite state. It provides a well-defined measure of pairwise quantum correlations in quantum systems and has operational significance in quantum metrology. In this work, we analytically derive the expression of local quantum uncertainty for two-qubit [Formula: see text] states which are of paramount importance in various fields of quantum information. As an illustration, we consider two-qubit states extracted from even and odd spin coherent states.

Dynamics of quantum correlations in two 2-level atoms coupled to thermal reservoirs

Zakaria Dahbi, Mostafa Mansour, Abderrahim El Allati

Abstract In this paper, we examine the dynamics of quantum correlations in two noninteractive two-level atoms coupled to two separate identical thermal reservoirs. The two atoms are initially produced in a Gisin state, which is a blend of a maximally entangled two-qubit state and a separable mixed state. Quantum entanglement is measured by logarithmic negativity, while the nonclassical correlations are characterized by trace distance discord and local quantum uncertainty. Using the mean photon number of reservoirs and spontaneous emission rates of atoms as inputs, we explore how these quantum resources behave. Consequently, we demonstrate that the dynamics of quantum entanglement and quantum correlations depend upon the parameters driving the system. Significantly, we further demonstrate that specific parameters may be tweaked to preserve the quantum resources in the system. The results give a full grasp of the quantum features of such a two-level atomic system, showing capabilities to construct quantum technology.

Nonlocal quantum correlations in a bipartite quantum system coupled to a bosonic non-Markovian reservoir

Samira Elghaayda, Zakaria Dahbi, A.‐B. A. Mohamed +1 more

In this paper, we explore the dynamics of nonlocal correlations in a two-qubit system, that is, first prepared in a Gisin state and then interacts with a bosonic non-Markovian environment. We employ uncertainty-induced nonlocality (UIN) and the Horodecki measure (Bell function) to characterize the degree of nonclassical correlations and quantum nonlocality in the system, taking into account the influence of the non-Markovian reservoir. The dynamics of the UIN and the Bell nonlocality are next examined using the various parameters that define the non-Markovian reservoir and the initial Gisin state. Our results show that the amount of nonlocal correlations and the degree of violation of Bell’s inequality can be modulated by varying the physical parameters characterizing the non-Markovian reservoir and the initial Gisin state. We also show that in some specific cases, the system exhibits nonclassical correlations while the evolved Gisin state does not violate Bell’s inequality. Our results also confirm that UIN is robust than Bell’s nonlocality in the presence of decoherence induced by the interaction with the non-Markovian reservoir.

Negativity of quantumness and its interpretations

Takafumi Nakano, Marco Piani, Gerardo Adesso

We analyze the general nonclassicality of correlations of a composite quantum system as measured by the negativity of quantumness. The latter corresponds to the minimum entanglement, as quantified by the negativity that is created between the system and an apparatus that is performing local measurements on a selection of subsystems. The negativity of quantumness thus quantifies the degree of nonclassicality on the measured subsystems. We demonstrate a number of possible different interpretations for this measure and for the concept of quantumness of correlations in general. In particular, for general bipartite states in which the measured subsystem is a qubit, the negativity of quantumness acquires a geometric interpretation as the minimum trace distance from the set of classically correlated states. This can be further reinterpreted as minimum disturbance, with respect to trace norm, due to a local measurement or a nontrivial local unitary operation. We calculate the negativity of quantumness in closed form for Werner and isotropic states and for all two-qubit states for which the reduced state of the system that is locally measured is maximally mixed; this includes all Bell diagonal states. We discuss the operational significance and potential role of the negativity of quantumness in quantum information processing.
