Does quantum mutual information encompass information only about quantum correlations, or does it encompass both classical and quantum correlations?
I am confused about what quantum mutual information gives us.
Does it give all kinds of quantum correlations? Or does it give all kinds of quantum and classical correlations?
If it consists of ...

What are examples where the quantum discord is achieved by a non-projective POVM?
Consider the (asymmetric) quantum discord, defined as (borrowing notation from Eq. 4.13c of Zurek's review):
$$\mathcal D(\mathcal S:\mathcal A) = I(\mathcal S:\mathcal A) - \chi(\rho_{\mathcal A}),$$

Can't understand how $D_{A,B} + D_{A,C} \ge E_{A,B}+E_{A,C}$ is proved used the subadditivity of entropy
I am reading Monogamy properties of quantum and classical correlations. Eq.10 states that $$D_{A,B} + D_{A,C} \ge E_{A,B}+E_{A,C},$$ where $D_{i,j}$ is the quantum discord, and $E_{A,B}$ is the ...

How to calculate Quantum Discord for two qubit system using Qutip?
Quantum discord of a bipartite system can be determined as:
$${D_A}({\rho _{AB}}) = I({\rho _{AB}}) - {J_A}({\rho _{AB}}),$$
The subscript of $A$ denotes that the measurement has been performed on the ...

Local operation to change the maximally mixed 2 qubit state to $\frac{1}{2}(|01\rangle \langle01|+|10\rangle \langle10|)$?
A paper I read talked about local interactions on only a single subsystem, leaving the state of that subsystem invariant, and the observation of this requiring the whole state.
Here is the paper
Now ...

Can separable states have quantum mutual information larger than one?
Consider bipartite (qubit) systems. The classical mutual information between a pair of binary
registers,
$$I(X:Y)\equiv H(X)+H(Y)-H(X,Y),$$
is always lesser than $1$ (and non-negative). On the other ...

What does a quantum mutual information larger than its classical upper bound represent?
Let $\rho$ be a bipartite state. Its quantum mutual information is defined as
$$\newcommand{\tr}{\operatorname{tr}}I(\rho) = S(\tr_B(\rho)) + S(\tr_A(\rho)) - S(\rho),$$
where $S(\sigma)$ is the von ...

Quantum discord of a tripartite system A:BC
I know that the quantum discord of a bipartite system can be determined as:
$${D_A}({\rho _{AB}}) = I({\rho _{AB}}) - {J_A}({\rho _{AB}}),$$
The subscript of $A$ denotes that the measurement has been ...

Why is the quantum discord of $\rho$ zero iff $\rho=\sum_j p_j \pi_j\otimes \rho_j$ for mutually orthogonal projections $\pi_j$?
In (Wiseman 2012), the author mentions (equation (4), page 6), that a state $\rho$ has zero quantum discord (more precisely, zero Alice-discord) if and only if it can be written in the form
$$\rho = \...

Does computing the quantum mutual information $I(\rho^{AB})$ require full tomographic information of $\rho^{AB}$?
In the discussions about quantum correlations, particularly beyond entanglement (discord, dissonance e.t.c), one can often meet two definitions of mutual information of a quantum system $\rho^{AB}$:
