The quantification of quantum correlations (other than entanglement) usually entails laboured numerical optimization procedures also demanding quantum state tomographic methods. Thus it is interesting to have a laboratory friendly witness for the nature of correlations. In this Letter we report a direct experimental implementation of such a witness in a room temperature nuclear magnetic resonance system. In our experiment the nature of correlations is revealed by performing only few local magnetization measurements. We also compare the witness results with those for the symmetric quantum discord and we obtained a fairly good agreement.

Quantum information protocols can be realized using the `prepare and measure setups which do not require sharing quantum correlated particles. In this work, we study the equivalence between the quantumness in a prepare and measure scenario involving independent devices, which implements quantum random number generation, and the quantumness in the corresponding scenario which realizes the same task with spatially separated correlated particles. In particular, we demonstrate that quantumness of sequential correlations observed in the prepare and measure scenario gets manifested as superunsteerability, which is a particular kind of spatial quantum correlation in the presence of limited shared randomness. In this scenario consisting of spatially separated quantum correlated particles as resource for implementing the quantum random number generation protocol, we define an experimentally measurable quantity which provides a bound on the amount of genuine randomness generation. Next, we study the equivalence between the quantumness of the prepare and measure scenario in the presence of shared randomness, which has been used for implementing quantum random-access codes, and the quantumness in the corresponding scenario which replaces quantum communication by spatially separated quantum correlated particles. In this case, we demonstrate that certain sequential correlations in the prepare and measure scenario in the presence of shared randomness, which have quantumness but do not provide advantage for random-access codes, can be used to provide advantage when they are realized as spatial correlations in the presence of limited shared randomness. We point out that these spatial correlations are superlocal correlations, which are another kind of spatial quantum correlations in the presence of limited shared randomness, and identify inequalities detecting superlocality.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) was successfully employed to test several protocols and ideas in Quantum Information Science. In most of these implementations the existence of entanglement was ruled out. This fact introduced concerns and questions about the quantum nature of such bench tests. In this article we address some issues related to the non-classical aspects of NMR systems. We discuss some experiments where the quantum aspects of this system are supported by quantum correlations of separable states. Such quantumness, beyond the entanglement-separability paradigm, is revealed via a departure between the quantum and the classic
The modeling of natural phenomena via a Markov process --- a process for which the future is independent of the past, given the present--- is ubiquitous in many fields of science. Within this context, it is of foremost importance to develop ways to check from the available empirical data if the underlying mechanism is indeed Markovian. A paradigmatic example is given by data processing inequalities, the violation of which is an unambiguous proof of the non-Markovianity of the process. Here, our aim is twofold. First we show the existence of a monogamy-like type of constraints, beyond data processing, respected by Markov chains. Second, to show a novel connection between the quantification of causality and the violation of both data processing and monogamy inequalities. Apart from its foundational relevance in the study of stochastic processes we also consider the applicability of our results in a typical quantum information setup, showing it can be useful to witness the non-Markovianity arising in a sequence of quantum non-projective measurements.
We provide experimental evidence of quantum features in bi-partite states classified as entirely classical according to a conventional criterion based on the Glauber P-function but possessing non-zero Gaussian quantum discord. Their quantum nature is experimentally revealed by acting locally on one part of the discordant state. Adding an environmental system purifying the state, we unveil the flow of quantum correlations within a global pure system using the Koashi-Winter inequality. We experimentally verify and investigate the counterintuitive effect of discord increase under the action of local loss and link it to the entanglement with the environment. For a discordant state generated by splitting a state in which the initial squeezing is destroyed by random displacements, we demonstrate the recovery of entanglement highlighting the role of system-environment correlations.
The reliability of quantum channels for transmitting information is of profound importance from the perspective of quantum information. This naturally leads to the question as how well a quantum state is preserved when subjected to a quantum channel. We propose a measure of quantumness of channels based on non-commutativity of quantum states that is intuitive and easy to compute. We apply the proposed measure to some well known noise channels, both Markovian as well as non-Markovian and find that the results are in good agreement with those from a recently introduced $l_1$-norm coherence based measure.
