Abstract

In this paper, a computable multipartite multimode Gaussian quantum correlation measure M(k){\mathcal M}^{(k)} is proposed for any kk-partite continuous-variable (CV) systems with k2k\geq 2. M(k){\mathcal M}^{(k)} depends only on the covariance matrix of CV states, is invariant under any permutation of subsystems, is a quantification without ancilla problem, nonincreasing under kk-partite local Gaussian channels (particularly, invariant under kk-partite local Gaussian unitary operations), vanishes on kk-partite product states. For a kk-partite Gaussian state ρ\rho, M(k)(ρ)=0{\mathcal M}^{(k)}(\rho)=0 if and only if ρ\rho is a kk-partite product state. Thus, for the bipartite case, M=M(2){\mathcal M}={\mathcal M}^{(2)} is an accessible replacement of the Gaussian quantum discord and Gaussian geometric discord. Moreover, M(k){\mathcal M}^{(k)} satisfies the unification condition, hierarchy condition that a multipartite quantum correlation measure should obey. M(k){\mathcal M}^{(k)} is not bipartite like monogamous, but, M(k){\mathcal M}^{(k)} is complete monogamous and tight complete monogamous.
