Measuring DQC1 Quantum Discord using DQC1    [PDF]

G. Passante, O. Moussa, R. Laflamme
We describe an efficient DQC1-algorithm to quantify the amount of Geometric
Quantum Discord present in the output state of a DQC1 computation. DQC1 is a
model of computation that utilizes separable states to solve a problem with no
known efficient classical algorithm and is known to contain quantum
correlations as measured by the discord. For the general case of a (1+n)-qubit
DQC1-state we provide an analytical expression for the Geometric Quantum
Discord and find that its typical (and maximum) value decreases exponentially
with n. This is in contrast to the standard Quantum Discord whose value for
typical DQC1-states is known to be independent of n. We experimentally
demonstrate the proposed algorithm on a four-qubit liquid-state nuclear
magnetic resonance quantum information processor. In the special case of a
two-qubit DQC1 model, we also provide an expression for the Quantum Discord
that only requires the outcome of the DQC1 algorithm.
