Fidelity based unitary operation-induced quantum correlation for continuous-variable systems

Quantum Physics 2019-02-01 v3

Abstract

We propose a measure of nonclassical correlation NFGN_{\mathcal F}^{\mathcal G} in terms of local Gaussian unitary operations based on square of the fidelity F\mathcal F for bipartite continuous-variable systems. This quantity is easier to calculate or estimate and is a remedy for the local ancilla problem associated with the geometric measurement-induced nonlocality. A simple computation formula of NFGN_{\mathcal F}^{\mathcal G} for any (1+1)(1+1)-mode Gaussian states is presented and an estimation of NFGN_{\mathcal F}^{\mathcal G} for any (n+m)(n+m)-mode Gaussian states is given. For any (1+1)(1+1)-mode Gaussian states, NFGN_{\mathcal F}^{\mathcal G} does not increase after performing a local Gaussian channel on the unmeasured subsystem. Comparing NFG(ρAB)N_{\mathcal F}^{\mathcal G}(\rho_{AB}) in scale with other quantum correlations such as Gaussian geometric discord for two-mode symmetric squeezed thermal states reveals that NFGN_{\mathcal F}^{\mathcal G} is much better in detecting quantum correlations of Gaussian states.
