Introducing Quantum Discord

arXiv:quant-ph/0105072 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.88.017901

Abstract

Two classically identical expressions for the mutual information generally differ when the two systems involved are quantum. We investigate this difference -- quantum discord -- and show that it can be used as a criterion for the classicality of the correlations. We also show that quantum discord can be used for describing the selection of the preferred, effectively classical, pointer states.
