Monogamy of quantum discord

Abstract
The original quantum discord (QD) is shown to be not monogamous except for the three-qubit states. Recently, a complete monogamy relation for multiparty quantum system was established for entanglement in [Phys. Rev. A. {101}, 032301~(2020)], and in addition, a new multipartite generalization of QD was proposed in [Phys. Rev. Lett. {124}, 110401~(2020)]. In this work, we firstly define the complete monogamy for this multipartite quantum discord (MQD) and the global quantum discord (GQD). MQD, with the same spirit as the complete monogamy of entanglement, is said to be completely monogamous (i) if it does not increase under coarsening of subsystems and (ii) if some given combination of subsystems reach the total amount of the correlation, then all other combination of subsystems that do not include all the given subsystems do not contain such a correlation any more. Here, coarsening of subsystems means discarding or combining some subsystems up to the given partition. Simultaneously, the complete monogamy of GQD is also defined with slight modification on the coarsening relation.Consequently, we explore all the coarsening relations of MQD and show that it is completely monogamous with a modicum assumption. In addition, with the same spirit, we investigate all the coarsening relations for GQD and show that GQD is not completely monogamous.That is, in the sense of the complete monogamy relation, MQD as a generalization of the original QD captures the nature of such a quantum correlation, and thus it is nicer than GQD as a generalization.
