Geometric Global Quantum Discord of Two-qubit X States

In this paper, we find that the geometric global quantum discord proposed by Xu and the total quantum correlations proposed by Hassan and Joag are identical. Moreover, we work out the analytical formulas of the geometric global quantum discord and geometric quantum discord both for two-qubit X states, respectively. We further illustrate how to use these formulas to deal with a few particular examples. We also compare the results achieved by using three kinds of geometric quantum discords. The geometric quantum discord is verified as a tight lower bound of the geometric global quantum discord for two-qubit X states.     

Geometric Measure of Quantum Discord for Entanglement of Total Dirac Fields in Noninertial Frames

We study the geometric measure of quantum discord of total Dirac fields in noninertial frames. As a comparison, we also calculate the corresponding geometric measure of entanglement of the same system. We discuss the properties of geometric measure of quantum discord and geometric measure of entanglement for this system with acceleration parameter and the parameter describing the entangle degree of the system in detail. Our results show that from an overall perspective, two geometric measures have similar behavior with the variation of the entangle parameter and the acceleration parameter. We find that this tripartite system is monogamous for the geometric measure of quantum discord.     

Geometric measure of quantum discord in non-Markovian environments

We study the dynamics of geometric measure of quantum discord between two non-interacting qubits each immersed in its own non-Markovian environment with a spectal distribution representing the electromagnetic field inside off-resonant high-Q cavity. We compared the dynamics of geometric measure of quantum discord with quantum discord for an initial Werner-like state and conclude three important findings. First, when there is an instantaneous disappearance in the dynamics of quantum discord at some timepoints, there is a disappearance in geometric measure of quantum discord, but not instantly. Second, the sudden change in the decay rate of geometric measure of quantum discord might not imply the sudden change in the decay rate of the dynamics of quantum discord. Third, there is a preservation for a long time in both quantum discord and geometric measure of quantum discord when the detuning and non-Markovian conditions are simultaneously satisfied.

Dynamics control of geometric quantum discord for two coupling qubits in a squeezed vacuum reservoir

We investigate the dynamics of geometric quantum discord of coupled qubits in a squeezed vacuum reservoir. The results show that there is distinct difference between the dynamics of geometric quantum discord and that of quantum entanglement near (or away from) the decoherence free subspace. We also find that the squeezed vacuum reservoir with high squeezed amplitude is more suitable for geometric quantum discord to survive. The robustness of geometric quantum discord is stronger than that of quantum entanglement.

Geometric Discord of Non-X-Structured State under Decoherence Channels

We investigate the level surfaces of geometric discord under some typical kinds of decoherence channels for a class of two-qubit states with the Bloch vectors \(\overset {\rightharpoonup }{r}\) and \(\overset {\rightharpoonup }{s}\) in z and x direction respectively. The surfaces of geometric discord are composed of three interaction ”cylinders” along three orthogonal directions of \(\overset {\rightharpoonup }{c}_{1}\) , \(\overset {\rightharpoonup }{c}_{2}\) and \(\overset {\rightharpoonup }{c}_{3}\) . We study the different images corresponding to different values of geometric discord, the Bloch vectors as well as p. In the phase damping channel, the geometric discord keeps constant over a period of time, furthermore the geometric discord and the quantum discord have the same sudden change point for Non-X-structured state.     

基于腔QED系统的几何量子失谐及其传送

研究了基于腔量子电动力学（腔QED）系统的几何量子失谐及其传送。该系统包括两个独立的子系统,每个子系统由两个二能级原子与单模腔共振相互作用。结果表明,所有初始存储在原子A1A2中的几何量子失谐最终被转移到原子B1B2和腔C1C2。同时,原子A1A2 ,B1B2和腔C1C2的几何量子失谐在该量子系统中可以发生猝死（DSD）以及纠缠突然死亡（ESD）。但是,在该量子系统中几何量子失谐不能完全由于原子的自发辐射和腔衰减而复活。此外,原子A1A2 ,B1B2和腔C1C2几何量子失谐的量,取决于其纯度p,并与其成比例,p的值越小,几何失谐越小。它也表明,在原子自发辐射和腔衰减的情况下,原子A1A2 ,B1B2和腔C1C2的几何量子失谐将经历振荡衰减并最终衰减到零。不过,在没有原子自发辐射和腔衰减的情况下,原子A1A2 ,B1B2和腔C1C2的几何量子失谐却没有衰减。

Relative ordering of square-norm distance correlations in open quantum systems

We investigate the square-norm distance correlation dynamics of the Bell-diagonal states under different local decoherence channels, including phase flip, bit flip, and bit-phase flip channels by employing the geometric discord(GD) and its modified geometric discord(MGD), as the measures of the square-norm distance correlations. Moreover, an explicit comparison between them is made in detail. The results show that there is no distinct dominant relative ordering between them. Furthermore, we obtain that the GD just gradually deceases to zero, while MGD initially has a large freezing interval,and then suddenly changes in evolution. The longer the freezing interval, the less the MGD is. Interestingly, it is shown that the dynamic behaviors of the two geometric discords under the three noisy environments for the Werner-type initial states are the same.     

Geometric Measure of Quantum Discord Under Decoherence and the Relevant Factorization Law

We investigate the dynamics of geometric measure of quantum discord (GMQD) for a class of two-qubit states under local decoherence channels: bit-, phase-, and bit-phase flips. We find that there are four types of dynamical behaviors of the GMQD, i.e., monotonic decay, existing a sudden change point, existing two sudden change points, and unaffected for a finite time interval and then monotonic decay. Furthermore, we establish a factorization law for the GMQD under these decoherence channels. From this law the lower bound of the GMQD can be obtained.     

Quantum Discord in Two-Qubit System Constructed from the Yang–Baxter Equation

Quantum correlations among parts of a composite quantum system are a fundamental resource for several applications in quantum information. In general, quantum discord can measure quantum correlations. In that way, we investigate the quantum discord of the two-qubit system constructed from the Yang-Baxter Equation. The density matrix of this system is generated through the unitary Yang-Baxter matrix R. The analytical expression and numerical result of quantum discord and geometric measure of quantum discord are obtained for the Yang-Baxter system. These results show that quantum discord and geometric measure of quantum discord are only connect with the parameter θ, which is the important spectral parameter in Yang Baxter equation.     

Correlation dynamics of qubit-qutrit systems in a classical dephasing environment

We study the time evolution of classical and quantum correlations for hybrid qubit-qutrit systems in independent and common dephasing environments. Our discussion involves a comparative analysis of the Markovian dynamics of negativity, quantum discord, geometric measure of quantum discord and classical correlation. For the case of independent environments, we have demonstrated the phenomenon of sudden transition between classical and quantum decoherence for qubit-qutrit states. In the common environment case, we have shown that dynamics of quantum and geometric discords might be completely independent of each other for a certain time interval, although they tend to be eventually in accord.     

Geometric measure of quantum discord over two-sided projective measurements

The original definition of quantum discord of bipartite states was defined over one-sided projective measurements, it describes quantum correlations more extensively than entanglement. Dakic, Vedral, and Brukner [Phys. Rev. Lett. 105 (2010) 190502] introduced a geometric measure of quantum discord, Luo and Fu [Phys. Rev. A 82 (2010) 034302] simplified the variation expression of this geometric measure. In this Letter we introduce a geometric measure of quantum discord over two-sided projective measurements. A simplified expression and a lower bound of this two-sided geometric measure are derived and explicit expressions are obtained for some special cases.     

Quantum Correlations of Two Relativistic Spin-12 Particles Under Noisy Channels

We study the quantum correlation dynamics of bipartite spin-\(\frac {1}{2}\) density matrices for two particles under Wigner rotations induced by Lorentz transformations which is transmitted through noisy channels. We compare quantum entanglement, geometric discord(GD), and quantum discord (QD) for bipartite relativistic spin-\(\frac {1}{2}\) states under noisy channels. We find out QD and GD tend to death asymptotically but a sudden change in the decay rate of the entanglement occurs under noisy channels. Also, bipartite relativistic spin density matrices are considered as a quantum channel for teleportation one-qubit state under the influence of depolarizing noise and compare fidelity for various velocities of observers.     

Divergence of fermionic correlations under non-Markovian noise in a non-inertial frame

Non-Markovian dynamics of correlations of fermionic systems is investigated beyond the single-mode approximations in a non-inertial frame. Two well known correlation measures, quantum discord and geometric quantum discord, are analyzed for the fermionic states influenced by the non-Markovian noise. Persistence of discord is seen for longer times depending upon the level of mixedness of the fermionic system. The dynamics of the fermionic systems heavily depends upon the degree of white noise. It is shown that fermionic systems remain dependent upon the choice of Unruh modes (_qR$q_R$) beyond the single-mode approximations under non-Markovian noise. Quantum discord is found to be more robust as compared to the geometric quantum discord. Furthermore, the non-Markovian effects are more stronger than the acceleration of Bob, the accelerated partner.     

Geometric global quantum discord of two-qubit states

We consider the geometric global quantum discord(GGQD) of two-qubit systems. By analyzing the symmetry of geometric global quantum discord we give an approach for deriving analytical formulae of the extremum problem which lies at the core of computing the GGQD for arbitrary two-qubit states. Furthermore, formulae of GGQD of arbitrary two-qubit states and some concrete examples are presented.     

Conditions for the Freezing Phenomena of Geometric Measure of Quantum Discord for Arbitrary Two-Qubit X-states under Non-dissipative Dephasing Noises

We study the dynamics of geometric measure of quantum discord (GMQD) under the influences of two local phase damping noises. Consider the two qubits initially in arbitrary X-states, we find the necessary and sufficient conditions for which GMQD is unaffected for a finite period. It is further shown that such results also hold for the non-Markovian dephasing process.     

A Generalized Geometric Measurement of Quantum Discord:Exact Treatment

A generalization of the geometric measure of quantum discord is introduced in this article, based on Hellinger distance. Our definition has virtues of computability and independence of local measurement. In addition it also does not suffer from the recently raised critiques about quantum discord. The exact result can be obtained for bipartite pure states with arbitrary levels, which is completely determined by the Schmidt decomposition. For bipartite mixed states the exact result can also be found for a special case. Furthermore the generalization into multipartite case is direct. It is shown that it can be evaluated exactly when the measured state is invariant under permutation or translation. In addition the detection of quantum phase transition is also discussed for Lipkin–Meshkov–Glick and Dicke model.
