Having the quantum correlations in a general mixed or pure bipartite state in mind, the part of information accessible by simultaneous measurement on both subsystems is shown never to exceed the part accessible by measurement on one subsystem, which, in turn is proved not to exceed the von Neumann mutual information. A particular pair of (opposite-subsystem) observables is shown to be responsible both for the amount of quasiclassical correlations and for that of the purely quantum entanglement in the pure-state case: the former via simultaneous subsystem measurements, and the latter through the entropy of coherence or of incompatibility, which is defined for the general case. The observables at issue are so-called twin observables. A general definition of the latter is given in terms of their detailed properties.
