Quantum discord and local demons
Abstract
Quantum discord was proposed as a measure of the "quantumness" of correlations. There are at least three different discord-like quantities, two of which determine the difference between the efficiencies of a Szilard's engine under different sets of restrictions. The three discord measures vanish simulataneosly. We introduce an easy way to test for zero discord, relate it to the Cerf-Adami conditional entropy and show that there is no relation between the discord and the local disitnguishability.
