We the discuss the problem of separation of total correlations in a given quantum state into entanglement, dissonance, and classical correlations using the concept of relative entropy as a distance measure of correlations. This allows us to put all correlations on an equal footing. Entanglement and dissonance, whose definition is introduced here, jointly belong to what is known as quantum discord. Our methods are completely applicable for multipartite systems of arbitrary dimensions. We finally show, using relative entropy, how different notions of quantum correlations are related to each other. This gives a single theory that incorporates all correlations, quantum, classical, etc.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-04-08T08:41:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.65.Ta", "05.70.Ce", "03.67.Hk", "02.50.Cw" ], "keywords": [ "classical correlations", "quantumness measures", "unification", "quantum discord", "relative entropy" ], "tags": [ "conference paper", "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP", "journal": "AIP Conf.
