Even unentangled states may exhibit such \\emph{quantumness}, that is pointed out by the new task of \\emph{local broadcasting}, i.e. of locally sharing pre-established correlations: this task is feasible if and only if correlations are classical and derive a no-local-broadcasting theorem for quantum correlations. Thus, local broadcasting is able to point out the quantumness of correlations, as standard broadcasting points out the quantum character of single system states. Further, we argue that our theorem implies the standard no-broadcasting theorem for single systems, and that our operative approach leads in a natural way to the definition of measures for quantumness of correlations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-08-08T09:45:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.67.Hk", "03.65.Ta", "03.65.Ud" ], "keywords": [ "quantum correlations", "no-local-broadcasting theorem", "quantum character", "multipartite quantum state", "multipartite classical probability distribution" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2008, "month": "Mar", "volume": 100, "number": 9, "pages": "090502" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008PhRvL.100i0502P" } } }
