Contextuality and quantum discord
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the defining differences between classical and quantum systems is how measurements affect them. Here, we compare approaches contextuality discord in capturing correlations special classes two-qubit states, demonstrating that although non-discordant states are non-contextual, discordant not always contextual.

Decoherence and quantum contextuality
Decoherence is the most widely accepted mechanism to explain the loss of coherence in quantum systems. Here we show how simple (quantum) trajectory–based models can help to understand the physics behind decoherence processes. In particular, we will analyze with these models the relationship between decoherence and quantum contextuality in the double–slit experiment, where two (quantum) contexts...
متن کاملQuantum discord in quantum computation
Quantum discord is a measure of the quantumness of correlations. After reviewing its different versions and properties, we apply it to the questions of quantum information processing. First we show that changes in discord in the processed unentangled states indicate the need for entanglement in the distributed implementation of quantum gates. On the other hand, it was shown that zero system-env...
متن کامل“Haunted” quantum contextuality
Two entangled particles in threedimensional Hilbert space (per particle) are considered in an EPR-type arrangement. On each side the Kochen-Specker observables {J 1 , J 2 2 , J 2 3 } and {J̄ 2 1 , J̄ 2 2 , J 2 3 } with [J 2 1 , J̄ 2 1 ] 6= 0 are measured. The outcomes of measurements of J 3 (via J 2 1 , J 2 2 ) and J 2 3 (via J̄ 1 , J̄ 2 2 ) are compared. We investigate the possibility that, althoug...
متن کاملQuantum Discord and Maxwell’s Demons
Quantum discord was proposed as an information theoretic measure of the “quantumness” of correlations. I show that discord determines the difference between the efficiency of quantum and classical Maxwell’s demons in extracting work from collections of correlated quantum systems. Information has an energetic value: It can be converted into work. Maxwell’s demon was introduced into thermodynamic...
متن کاملGaussian quantum discord.
We extend the quantum discord to continuous variable systems and evaluate Gaussian quantum discord C(ϱ) for bipartite Gaussian states. In particular, for squeezed-thermal states, we explicitly maximize the extractable information over Gaussian measurements: C(ϱ) is minimized by a generalized measurement rather than a projective one. Almost all squeezed-thermal states have nonzero Gaussian disco...
