Lower bound of local quantum uncertainty for high-dimensional bipartite quantum systems

Abstract

Quantum correlations are of fundamental importance in quantum phenomena and studies related to quantum information processing. The measurement of quantum correlations is a central challenge. A recently proposed measure of quantum correlations, local quantum uncertainty (LQU), satisfies all the physical requirements as a measure of quantum correlations. This study derives a closed-form lower bound of the LQU for arbitrary-dimensional bipartite quantum states using operator relaxation. We also compared the lower bound with the optimized LQU for several typical sets of quantum states. The results show that the lower bound is near to the optimized LQU for three-dimensional bipartite quantum systems.
