Quantum Discord  

In General > s.a. correlations in physics; quantum correlations.
* Idea: Discord is the difference between two classically equivalent expressions for bipartite mutual information, one expressed in terms of joint entropy and the other expressed in terms of mutual entropy; It quantifies non-classical correlations in a quantum system, including those not captured by entanglement; States with zero discord exhibit strictly classical correlations; > s.a. quantum phase transitions.
