Discord Derived from Tsallis Entropy

Quantum Physics 2012-06-04 v1

Abstract

Due to some ambiguity in defining mutual Tsallis entropy in the classical probability theory, its generalization to quantum theory is discussed and, as a consequence, two types of generalized quantum discord, called qq-discords, are defined in terms of quantum Tsallis entropy. qq-discords for two-qubit Werner and isotropic states are calculated and it is shown that one of them is positive, at least for states under investigation, for all q>0q>0. Finally, an analytical expression for qq-discord of certain family of two-qubit X states is presented.
