Correlated multipartite quantum states

We investigate quantum states that possess both maximum entanglement and maximum discord between the pertinent parties. Since entanglement (discord) is defined only for bipartite (two-qubit) systems, we use an appropriate sum over all bipartitions as the associated measure. The ensuing definition-no...

Sumario:We investigate quantum states that possess both maximum entanglement and maximum discord between the pertinent parties. Since entanglement (discord) is defined only for bipartite (two-qubit) systems, we use an appropriate sum over all bipartitions as the associated measure. The ensuing definition-not new for entanglement-is thus extended here to quantum discord. Also, additional dimensions within the parties are considered (qudits). We also discuss quantum correlations that induce Mermin's Bell-inequality violation for all multiqubit systems. One finds some differences when quantum mechanics is defined over the field of real or of complex numbers.
