Affinity-based measurement-induced nonlocality and its robustness against noise (1905.07165v1)

Abstract: Measurement-induced nonlocality (MIN), a quantum correlation measure for the bipartite system, is an indicator of global effects due to locally invariant von Neumann projective measurements. It is well known fact that the correlation measures based on Hilbert-Schmidt norm are not credible measure in capturing nonlocal attributes of a quantum state. In this article, to remedy the local ancilla problem of Hilbert-Schmidt norm based MIN, we propose a new form of MIN-based on affinity. This quantity satisfies all criteria of a bonafide measure of quantum correlation measure. For an arbitrary pure state, it is shown that affinity based MIN equals to other forms of geometric versions of correlation measure. We obtain an upper bound of this measure for m \times n-dimensional arbitrary mixed state. We obtain a closed formula of the proposed version of MIN for 2 \times n dimensional (qubit qudit) mixed state. We apply these results on two-qubit mixed states such as Werner, isotropic and Bell diagonal state. To illustrate the robustness of affinity-based measure against noise, we study the dynamics of MIN under generalized amplitude damping channel.
