Comparison of quantum discord and relative entropy in some bipartite quantum systems (1308.0901v2)

Abstract: The study of quantum correlations in High-dimensional bipartite systems is crucial for the development of quantum computing. We propose relative entropy as a distance measure of correlations may be measured by means of the distance from the quantum state to the closest classical-classical state. In particular, We establish relations between relative entropy and quantum discord quantifiers obtained by means of orthogonal projective measurements. We show that for symmetrical X-states density matrices the quantum discord is equal to relative entropy. At the end of paper, various examples of X-states such as two-qubit and qubit-qutrit have been demonstrated .
