Decoherence and measurement-induced correlations
- Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 100190 Beijing (China)
Decoherence arises from the interaction of a quantum system with the environment or, more precisely, from the measurement in which the environment ''measures'' the quantum system and establishes correlations with it. In this work, we first quantify measurement-induced correlations from both classical and quantum perspectives. Then we quantify decoherence via measurement-induced classical correlations. By virtue of an intrinsic and powerful link between entanglement (as quantified by entanglement of formation) and classical correlations (as quantified by the difference between the total correlations and quantum discord) in pure tripartite systems, we present general analytical formulas for measurement-induced correlations and decoherence measures for qubit systems and, furthermore, reveal a conservation relation for the information-disturbance tradeoff.
