Quantum discord and Gaussian quantum discord Pure states: -entangled - separable Mixed states: -entangled (and discordant) -separable and have non-zero discord - separable, no discord Quantum discord - a more resilient form of quantum correlations

What can be quantum about separable states? Nonorthogonal separable states cannot be discriminated deterministically and exactly Measuring a local observable on a separable bipartite state can perturb the state The eigenvectors of a separable state can be entangled superpositions ….

Infimum: optimization to single out the least disturbing measurement on B - one way classical correlation Total info about A Quantum correlation: Info about A inferred via quantum measurement on B Total info about A Optimal measurements: Gaussian G. Adesso, A. Datta, PRL 105, P. Giorda, M. G. A. Paris, ibid, (2010) Gaussian Quantum discord

Gaussian states are those with a Gaussian Wigner function. - vector of quadratures; - covariance matrix. State is inseparable iff: Separability is determined by the PPT criterion: For N modes, mode j is separable iff: R. Simon, Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 2726 (2000) (all second order moments of two modes)

Definition without entropies: A state is said to be discordant if and only if it cannot be fully determined without disturbing it with the aid of local measurements and classical communication: orthonormal basis Nonorthogonal separable states cannot be discriminated deterministically and exactly …. Discordant quantum states unavoidably exhibit quantum uncertainty on the measurement of any single local observable.

“classical” definition of non-classicality in bi-partite system Gaussian states with non-zero quantum discord are often classical according to this definition Information-theoretical approach: can I prepare state by LOCC? Gaussian states with non-zero quantum discord are non-classical according to this definition A.Ferraro, M. G. Paris, Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, (2012) M. Piani, P. Horodecki, R. Horodecki, Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, (2008); M. Piani, M. Christandl, C. E. Mora, P. Horodecki, Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, (2009).

QQ: non-zero discord, not all the information about them can be locally retrieved; cannot prepare by LOCC; QC: zero A-discord, cannot be cloned locally (locally broadcasted) Information-theoretical approach: can I prepare state by LOCC? All these states are separable – but: CC QQ QC A.Ferraro, M. G. Paris, Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, (2012) M. Piani, P. Horodecki, R. Horodecki, Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, (2008); M. Piani, M. Christandl, C. E.

“Normal” explanation: role of classical information Classical information lies in our knowledge about all the correlated displacement involved. Bob (or David for him) can recover through clever noise addition quantum resources initially present in the input quantum squeezed states.

Role of classical communication: we use our knowledge about initial pure product state to design correlated noise such that it cancels out Role of dissipation: dissipation to a common reservoir, not a product state any more (mode C viewed as “environmental mode”) Role of discord: need non-zero discord in order to obtain entanglement at final stage T.K.

Dense coding allows to transmit information more efficiently than classically possible. In CV, this was done using a two-mode entangled state, where in the limit of infinite photon number the capacity was double the coherent state capacity. It has since been demonstrated for three modes using a CV GHZ state. Measurement of the third mode controls capacity of the scheme. S. L. Braunstein and H. J. Kimble, Phys. Rev. Lett. 61, (2000). J.

Passive operation transmutes system-environment correlations into entanglement interfere B with a mode carrying displacements such that the noise partially cancels out alternatively: computationally on the raw data instead of physically classical information about the displacements of the squeezed states  recover the entanglement?!

violation of Duan’s separability criterion (product form)  entanglement across the A-(BC) splitting before the BS  proves entanglement:  B shares quantum correlations with (AC)  B realizes a true quantum communication between the locations of modes A and C, which cannot be replaced by LOCC Same element as in protocols 1 & 2 showing entangling power of BS: V.
