Frozen and Invariant Quantum Discord Under Local Dephasing Noise

Part of the Quantum Science and Technology book series (QST)

Abstract

In nature, there exist various different types of correlations among the constituents of composite physical systems. While macroscopic systems only form correlations of classical nature, quantum mechanics allows for the existence of curious correlations devoid of a classical analogue, such as quantum entanglement. The idea of entanglement is as old as the quantum theory itself.
