This approach allows a unified view of the various kinds of correlations present in a quantum system. In particular, using relative entropy as a distance measure, total correlations can be meaningfully separated in a quantum and a classical part thanks to an additive relation involving only distances between states. Here, we investigate a unified view of correlations using as distance measure the square norm, already used to define the so-called geometric quantum discord. We thus consider geometric quantifiers also for total and classical correlations finding, for a quite general class of bipartite states, their explicit expressions. We analyze the relationship among geometric total, quantum and classical correlations and we find that they do not satisfy anymore a closed additivity relation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-03-05T14:45:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.65.Ud", "03.67.Mn", "03.65.Yz" ], "keywords": [ "square norm distance", "unified view", "distance measure", "quite general class", "classical correlations" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review A", "year": 2012, "month": "Mar", "volume": 85, "number": 3, "pages": "032104" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012PhRvA..85c2104B" } } }
