Protecting geometric quantum discord via partially collapsing measurements of two qubits in multiple bosonic reservoirs

We study the dynamics of geometric quantum discord(GQD) between two qubits,each qubit interacting at the same time with K independent multiple bosonic reservoirs at zero temperature.In both weak and strong qubit-reservoirs coupling regimes,we find that the increase of the number K of reservoirs can induce the damped oscillation of GQD,and enhance the memory effects of the overall environment.And the Hilbert-Schmidt norm GQD(two-norm GQD) is always smaller than the trace norm geometric quantum discord(one-norm GQD).Therefore,the one-norm GQD is a better way to measure the quantum correlation.Finally,we propose an effective strategy to improve GQD by using partially collapsing measurements,and we find that the protection effect is better with the increase of the weak measurement strength.

Geometric quantum discord and Berry phase between two charge qubits coupled by a quantum transmission line

Geometric quantum discord（GQD） and Berry phase between two charge qubits coupled by a quantum transmission line are investigated. We show how GQDs evolve and investigate their dependencies on the parameters of the system.We also calculate the energy and the Berry phase and compare them with GQD, finding that there are close connections between them.

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.

Monogamy of quantum correlations in the one-dimensional anisotropic XXXYYY model

In this paper, the monogamy properties of some quantum correlations, including the geometric quantum discord, concurrence, entanglement of formation and entropy quantum discord, in the anisotropic spin-1/2 XY model with stag- gered Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya （DM） interaction have been investigated using the quantum renormalization group （QRG） method. We summarize the monogamy relation for different quantum correlation measures and make an explicit compar- ison. Through mathematical calculations and analysis, we obtain that no matter whether the QRG steps are carried out, the monogamy of the given states are always unaltered. Moreover, we conclude that the geometric quantum discord and concurrence obey the monogamy property while other quantum correlation measures, such as entanglement of formation and quantum discord, violate it for this given model.

Quantum correlation switches for dipole arrays

We investigate the characteristics of three kinds of quantum correlations, measured by pairwise quantum discord （QD）, geometric measure of quantum discord （GMQD）, and measurement-induced disturbance （MID）, in the systems of three- and four-dipole arrays. The influence of the temperature on the three quantum correlations and entanglement of the systems is also analyzed numerically. It is found that novel quantum correlation switches called QD, GMQD, and MID respectively can be constructed with the qubits consisting of electric dipoles coupled by the dipole-dipole interaction and oriented along or against the external electric field. Moreover, with the increase of temperature, QD, GMQD, and MID are more robust than entanglement against the thermal environment. It is also found that for each dipole pair of the three- and four-dipole arrangements, the MID is always the largest and the GMQD the smallest.
