Nonclassical correlation in a multipartite quantum system: two measures and evaluation

Abstract

There is a commonly recognized paradigm in which a multipartite quantum system described by a density matrix having no product eigenbasis is considered to possess nonclassical correlation. Supporting this paradigm, we define two entropic measures of nonclassical correlation of a multipartite quantum system. One is defined as the minimum uncertainty about a joint system after we collect outcomes of particular local measurements. The other is defined by taking the maximum over all local systems about the minimum distance between a genuine set and a mimic set of eigenvalues of a reduced density matrix of a local system. The latter measure is based on an artificial game to create mimic eigenvalues of a reduced density matrix of a local system from eigenvalues of a density matrix of a global system. Numerical computation of these measures for several examples is performed.
