Abstract

We study some desirable properties of recently introduced measures of quantum correlations based on the amount of non-commutativity quantified by the Hilbert–Schmidt norm (Guo in Sci Rep 6:25241, 2016; Majtey et al. in Quantum Inf Process 16:226, 2017). Specifically, we show that: (1) for any bipartite (\(A+B\)) state, the measures of quantum correlations with respect to subsystem A are non-increasing under any local commutative preserving operation on subsystem A, and (2) for Bell-diagonal states, the measures are non-increasing under arbitrary local operations on B. Our results accentuate the potentialities of such measures and exhibit them as valid monotones in a resource theory of quantum correlations with free operations restricted to the appropriate local channels.

Notes

  1. A LCPO corresponds to a map \(\Delta [\cdot ]\) that is completely positive trace preserving and preserves the commutativity [36], that is, \([\Delta [\rho ],\Delta [\sigma ]]=0 \ \ \forall \;\rho ,\sigma \; \text {such that} \; [\rho ,\sigma ]=0.\)

  2. Recall that a map \(\Phi [\cdot ]\) is said to be unital if \(\Phi [{\mathbb {I}}]={\mathbb {I}}\), whereas a completely decohering map \(\Phi [\cdot ]\) is such that \(\Phi [\rho ]=\sum _ip_i \left| {i}\right\rangle \left\langle {i}\right| \), for some orthonormal basis \(\{\left| {i}\right\rangle \}\) and (state-dependent) probabilities \(\{p_i\}\).
