Abstract
The key ingredient of the approach presented in this paper is the factorization property of SU(2) coherent states upon the splitting or decay of a quantum spin system. In this picture, the even and odd spin coherent states are viewed as comprising two, three or more spin sub-systems. From this perspective, we investigate the multipartite quantum correlations defined as the sum of the correlations of all possible bi-partitions. The pairwise quantum correlations are quantified by entanglement of formation and quantum discord. Special attention is devoted to tripartite splitting schemes. We explicitly derive the sum of the entanglement of formation for all possible bi-partitions. It coincides with the sum of all possible occurrences of pairwise quantum discord. The conservation relation between the distribution of entanglement of formation and quantum discord in the tripartite splitting scheme is discussed. We show that entanglement of formation and quantum discord possess the monogamy property for even spin coherent states, in contrast to odd ones which violate the monogamy relation when the overlap of the coherent states approaches unity.
