Entanglement as the cross-symmetric part of quantum discord

Quantum Physics 2023-07-31 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we show that the minimal quantum discord over "cross-symmetric" state extensions is an entanglement monotone. In particular, we show that the minimal Bures distance of discord over cross-symmetric extensions is equivalent to the Bures distance of entanglement. At last, we refute a long-held but unstated convention that only contractive distances can be used to construct entanglement monotones by showing that the entanglement quantifier induced by the Hilbert-Schmidt distance, which is not contractive under quantum operations, is also an entanglement monotone.
