Modern quantum information theory provides new tools for investigating the decoherence-induced "classicality" of open quantum systems. Recent observation that almost all quantum states bear non-classical correlations [A. Ferraro {\it et…

The "classical-quantum" ($\mathit{cq}$) discord of a bipartite state $\rho^{AB}$ is the smallest difference between the mutual information $S(\rho^{A:B})$ of $\rho$ and that of $\rho$ after a measurement channel is applied on the $A$…

The information encoded into an open quantum system that evolves under a Markovian dynamics is always monotonically non-increasing. Nonetheless, for a given quantifier of the information contained in the system, it is in general not clear…
We propose a new criterion to judge zero quantum discord for arbitrary bipartite states. A bipartite quantum state has zero quantum discord if and only if all blocks of its density matrix are normal matrices and commute with each other.…
