Koashi-Winter relation for α-Renyi entropies

This work presents a generalization of the Koashi-Winter relation for $α$-Renyi entropies. This result is based on the Renyi\apos s entropy version of quantum Jensen Shannon divergence. By means of this definition, a classical correlations quantifier $C_α(ρ_{AB}) = \sup_{ξ_{AB}^{M_B}} Q_α(ξ_{AB}^{M_B})$ is proposed, where the optimization is taken over the ensembles $ξ_{AB}^{M_B}$ created by the outputs of the local measurement process. The main result is applied to the capacity of a quantum classical channel over a tripartite pure state $ψ_{ABE}$, that is rated above in function of the probability of success to discriminate the states in the ensemble $ξ_{AE}^{M_E}$, created by the local dephasing over partition $E$, and the asymptotic log generalized robustness of partition $AB$. Some analytical results are calculated for classical correlations and entanglement of formation.

Dynamical matrix for arbitrary quadratic fermionic bath Hamiltonians and non-Markovian dynamics of one and two qubits in an Ising model environment

We obtain the analytical expression for the Kraus decomposition of the quantum map of an environment modeled by an arbitrary quadratic fermionic Hamiltonian acting on one or two qubits, and derive simple functions to check the non-positivity of the intermediate map. These functions correspond to two different sufficient criteria for non-Markovianity. In the particular case of an environment represented by the Ising Hamiltonian, we discuss the two sources of non-Markovianity in the model, one due to the finite size of the lattice, and another due to the kind of interactions.

Quantumness of Correlations in Fermionic Systems

We present a new approach for the quantification of quantumness of correlations in fermionic systems. We study the Multipartite Relative Entropy of Quantumness in such systems, and show how the symmetries in the states can be used to obtain analytical solutions. Numerical evidences about the uniqueness of such solutions are also presented. Supported by these results, we show that the minimization of the Multipartite Relative Entropy of Quantumness, over certain choices of its modes multipartitions, reduces to the notion of Quantumness of Indistinguishable Particles. By means of an activation protocol, we characterize the class of states without quantumness of correlations. As an example, we calculate the dynamics of quantumness of correlations for a purely dissipative system, whose stationary states exhibit interesting topological non-local correlations.

Quantumness of correlations in indistinguishable particles

We discuss a general notion of quantum correlations in fermionic or bosonic indistinguishable particles. Our approach is mainly based on the identification of the algebra of single-particle observables, which allows us to devise an activation protocol in which the \textit{quantumness of correlations} in the system leads to a unavoidable creation of entanglement with the measurement apparatus. Using the distillable entanglement, or the relative entropy of entanglement, as entanglement measure, we show that our approach is equivalent to the notion of minimal disturbance in a single-particle von Neumann measurement, also leading to a geometrical approach for its quantification.

Spin squeezing and entanglement via finite-dimensional discrete phase-space description

We show how mapping techniques inherent to $N^{2}$-dimensional discrete phase spaces can be used to treat a wide family of spin systems which exhibits squeezing and entanglement effects. This algebraic framework is then applied to the modified Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model in order to obtain the time evolution of certain special parameters related to the Robertson-Schrödinger (RS) uncertainty principle and some particular proposals of entanglement measure based on collective angular-momentum generators. Our results reinforce the connection between both the squeezing and entanglement effects, as well as allow to investigate the basic role of spin correlations through the discrete representatives of quasiprobability distribution functions. Entropy functionals are also discussed in this context. The main sequence correlations -> entanglement -> squeezing of quantum effects embraces a new set of insights and interpretations in this framework, which represents an effective gain for future researches in different spin systems.

Witnessed entanglement and the geometric measure of quantum discord

We establish relations between geometric quantum discord and entanglement quantifiers obtained by means of optimal witness operators. In particular, we prove a relation between negativity and geometric discord in the Hilbert-Schmidt norm, which is slightly different from a previous conjectured one [Phys. Rev. A 84, 052110 (2011)].We also show that, redefining the geometric discord with the trace norm, better bounds can be obtained. We illustrate our results numerically.

Quantifying Quantum Correlations in Fermionic Systems using Witness Operators

We present a method to quantify quantum correlations in arbitrary systems of indistinguishable fermions using witness operators. The method associates the problem of finding the optimal entan- glement witness of a state with a class of problems known as semidefinite programs (SDPs), which can be solved efficiently with arbitrary accuracy. Based on these optimal witnesses, we introduce a measure of quantum correlations which has an interpretation analogous to the Generalized Robust- ness of entanglement. We also extend the notion of quantum discord to the case of indistinguishable fermions, and propose a geometric quantifier, which is compared to our entanglement measure. Our numerical results show a remarkable equivalence between the proposed Generalized Robustness and the Schliemann concurrence, which are equal for pure states. For mixed states, the Schliemann con- currence presents itself as an upper bound for the Generalized Robustness. The quantum discord is also found to be an upper bound for the entanglement.
