We explore non-classical correlations in n-cycle setting. In particular, we focus on correlations manifested by Kochen-Specker-Klyachko box (KS box), scenarios involving n-cycle non-contextuality inequalities and Popescu-Rohlrich boxes (PR box). We provide the criteria for optimal classical simulation of a KS box of arbitrary n dimension. The non-contextuality inequalities are analysed for n-cycle setting, and the condition for the quantum violation for odd as well as even n-cycle is discussed. We offer a simple extension of even cycle non-contextuality inequalities to the continuous variable case. Furthermore, we simulate a generalized PR box using KS box and provide some interesting insights. Towards the end, we discuss a few possible interesting open problems for future research.

We study the relationship between (non-)Markovian evolutions, established correlations, and the entropy production rate. We consider a system qubit in contact with a thermal bath and in addition the system is strongly coupled to an ancillary qubit. We examine the steady state properties finding that the coupling leads to effective temperatures emerging in the composite system, and show that this is related to the creation of correlations between the qubits. By establishing the conditions under which the system reaches thermal equilibrium with the bath despite undergoing a non-Markovian evolution, we examine the entropy production rate, showing that its transient negativity is a sufficient sign of non-Markovianity.
Quantum discord quantifies non-classical correlations in a quantum system including those not captured by entanglement. Thus, only states with zero discord exhibit strictly classical correlations. We prove that these states are negligible in the whole Hilbert space: typically a state picked out at random has positive discord; and, given a state with zero discord, a generic arbitrarily small perturbation drives it to a positive-discord state. These results hold for any Hilbert-space dimension, and have direct implications on quantum computation and on the foundations of the theory of open systems. In addition, we provide a simple necessary criterion for zero quantum discord. Finally, we show that, for almost all positive-discord states, an arbitrary Markovian evolution cannot lead to a sudden, permanent vanishing of discord.
We report on an experiment to detect non-classical correlations in a highly mixed state. The correlations are characterized by the quantum discord and are observed using four qubits in a liquid state nuclear magnetic resonance quantum information processor. The state analyzed is the output of a DQC1 computation, whose input is a single quantum bit accompanied by n maximally mixed qubits. This model of computation outperforms the best known classical algorithms, and although it contains vanishing entanglement it is known to have quantum correlations characterized by the quantum discord. This experiment detects non-vanishing quantum discord, ensuring the existence of non-classical correlations as measured by the quantum discord.
Nonclassical correlations provide a resource for many applications in quantum technology as well as providing strong evidence that a system is indeed operating in the quantum regime. Optomechanical systems can be arranged to generate quantum entanglement between the mechanics and a mode of travelling light. Here we propose automated optimisation of the production of quantum correlations in such a system, beyond what can be achieved through analytical methods, by applying Bayesian optimisation to the control parameters. Two-mode optomechanical squeezing experiment is simulated using a detailed theoretical model of the system, while the Bayesian optimisation process modifies the controllable parameters in order to maximise the non-classical two-mode squeezing and its detection, independently of the inner workings of the model. The Bayesian optimisation treats the simulations or the experiments as a black box. This we refer to as emph{theory-blind} optimisation, and the optimisation process is designed to be unaware of whether it is working with a simulation or the actual experimental setup. We find that in the experimentally relevant thermal regimes, the ability to vary and optimise a broad array of control parameters provides access to large values of two-mode squeezing that would otherwise be difficult or intractable to discover. In particular we observe that modulation of the driving frequency around the resonant sideband, when added to the set of control parameters, produces strong nonclassical correlations greater on average than the maximum achieved by optimising over the remaining parameters. We also find that using our optimisation approach raises the upper limit to the thermal regime in which squeezing can be achieved. This extends the range of experimental setups in which non-classical correlations could be generated beyond the region of high quantum cooperativity.
Interfacing a single photon with another quantum system is a key capability in modern quantum information science. It allows quantum states of matter, such as spin states of atoms, atomic ensembles or solids, to be prepared and manipulated by photon counting and, in particular, to be distributed over long distances. Such light-matter interfaces have become crucial to fundamental tests of quantum physics and realizations of quantum networks. Here we report non-classical correlations between single photons and phonons -- the quanta of mechanical motion -- from a nanomechanical resonator. We implement a full quantum protocol involving initialization of the resonator in its quantum ground state of motion and subsequent generation and read-out of correlated photonphonon pairs. The observed violation of a Cauchy-Schwarz inequality is clear evidence for the non-classical nature of the mechanical state generated. Our results demonstrate the availability of on-chip solid-state mechanical resonators as light-matter quantum interfaces. The performance we achieved will enable studies of macroscopic quantum phenomena as well as applications in quantum communication, as quantum memories and as quantum transducers.
