Quantum discord for two-qubit CS states: Analytical solution

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

We found an universal local unitary (orthogonal) transformation which transforms any centrosymmetric (CS) density matrix ρ_{CS} into the X density matrix ρ_X: H\otimes Hρ_{CS}H\otimes H=ρ_X, where H is the Hadamard transformation. Because quantum discord is invariant under the local unitary transformations, this remarkable property allows to get the discord of general two-qubit CS states in the analytical form using the corresponding well-known formulas for the X states. Examples of systems with CS density matrices provided from the recent literature, including XXZ spin model with the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction, a gas of spin-carrying particles in closed nanopore, and a family of pseudopure states.
