Phys. A: Math. Theor. 45 (2012) 025301 that the amount of classical correlations, which is used to define quantum discord, is bounded from above by the minimum of the von Neumann entropies of the subsystems A and B. We provide an alternative proof that is generalized to POVMs and that is more transparent as it works without defining correlation matrices.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-02-23T15:44:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "classical correlations", "upper bound", "von neumann entropies", "define quantum discord", "subsystems" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
