Quantum steering ellipsoids and quantum obesity in critical systems
Abstract: Quantum obesity (QO) is new function used to quantify quantum correlations beyond entanglement, which also works as a witness for entanglement. Thanks to its analyticity for arbitrary state of bipartite systems, it represents an advantage with respect to other quantum correlations, like quantum discord for example. In this work we show that QO is a fundamental quantity to observe signature of quantum phase transitions. We also describe a mechanism based on local filtering operations able to intensify the critical behavior of the QO near to the transition point. To this end, we introduce a theorem stating how QO changes under local quantum operations and classical communications. This work opens perspective for the characterization of new phenomena in quantum critical systems through the analytically computable pairwise QO.
