Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Quantum correlations represent the key ingredient in many applications of quantum technologies, which develop more and more over the last years. Quantum technologies employ the quantum mechanics principles in new phenomena with the help of the information stored in a quantum system. As examples of quantum correlations, we can enumerate: entanglement, quantum discord, quantum steering, quantum coherence. They are widely used in many processes of quantum information processing and quantum optics: quantum teleportation, quantum cryptography, superdense coding, entanglement swapping, quantum computing, quantum algorithms, quantum imaging.

This Special Issue of Entropy entitled “Quantum correlations used in quantum technologies” is dedicated to the investigation and applications of the quantum correlations in quantum technologies, covering a large number of branches in the field of quantum information processing and quantum optics.

Abstract
We apply the local optimal universal asymmetric cloning machine on an initially pure entangled state of two qubits. As output, we obtain two final states which present quantum correlations.

We apply the local optimal universal asymmetric cloning machine on an initially pure entangled state of two qubits. As output, we obtain two final states which present quantum correlations. We analyze three types of quantum correlations among the final states, namely, concurrence, quantum discord, and consonance. A detailed comparison between concurrence, quantum discord, and consonance is made, and we find that consonance is greater than quantum discord, which is in turn greater than concurrence.

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering is a kind of powerful nonlocal quantum resource in quantum information processing such as quantum cryptography and quantum communication. Many criteria have been proposed in the past few years to detect steerability, both analytically and numerically, for bipartite quantum systems. We propose effective criteria for tripartite steerability and genuine tripartite steerability of three-qubit quantum states by establishing connections between the tripartite steerability (resp. genuine tripartite steerability) and the tripartite entanglement (resp. genuine tripartite entanglement) of certain corresponding quantum states. From these connections, tripartite steerability and genuine tripartite steerability can be detected without using any steering inequalities. The “complex cost” of determining tripartite steering and genuine tripartite steering can be reduced by detecting the entanglement of the newly constructed states in the experiment. Detailed examples are given to illustrate the power of our criteria in detecting the (genuine) tripartite steerability of tripartite states. Full article
