Abstract

In the last few years one realized that if the state of a bipartite system can be written as ∑i,j pij|ai〉〈ai| ⊗ |bj〉〈bj|, where {|ai〉} and {|bj〉} form orthonormal basis for the subsystems and {pij} is a probability distribution, then it possesses at most classical correlations. In this article we introduce a nonlinear witness providing a sufficient condition for classicality of correlations (absence of quantum discord) in a broad class of two-qubit systems. Such witness turns out to be necessary and sufficient condition in the case of Bell-diagonal states. We show that the witness introduced here can be readily experimentally implemented in nuclear magnetic resonance setups.
