Quantum discord in quantum random access codes and its connection with dimension witness
arXiv:1207.1275 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.86.062310
Abstract
We exploit quantum discord (and geometric discord) to detect quantum correlations present in a well-known communication model called quantum random access codes (QRACs), which has a variety of applications in areas ranging form quantum communication complexity, network coding, information causality, to security proof of QKD protocol. In spite of the fact that there is no entanglement between the two parts involved in this model, analytical derivation shows that the quantum discord is nonzero and highlights that quantum discord might be regarded as a figure of merit to characterize the quantum feature of QRACs, since this model has no classical counterparts. To gain further insight, we also investigate the dynamical behavior of quantum discord under state rotations. As a comparison, the connection between quantum discord and dimension witness is graphically discussed. Interestingly, our results illustrate that these two quantities are monotonically related to each other, which implies that the dimension witness and nonclassical correlations may be intrinsically linked.
