Quantum Correlations| Quantum Correlations |
In General
> s.a. bell inequalities and generalizations
[and causal networks]; correlations [quantumness measures];
fluctuations; types and bounds.
* Rem: Understanding the nature
of correlations among distant observables is a fundamental problem in quantum
theory, and information theory appears to be a useful tool.
* Origin of correlations: In
quantum physics there is a new kind of cause for some correlations not present
in classical physics, entanglement, which reveals itself, e.g., in correlations
that violate Bell inequalities (and hence cannot be described by common causes)
between space-like separated events (which cannot be described by classical
communication); It has been suggested that there may exist quantum correlations
that go beyond entanglement, whose existence can be revealed by quantum discord.
* Ontological status: Results by various
people have shown that correlations cannot be thought of as elements of reality.

Measures of Quantum Correlations
> s.a. entanglement; quantum discord.
* Idea:
Two measures of quantum correlations are discord and entanglement.

Correlations and Non-Locality
> s.a. causality in quantum theory [including no-signaling].
* Idea:
Measurements performed on spatially separated entangled quantum systems show correlations
that are non-local, in the sense that a Bell inequality is violated, but cannot be used for
superluminal signaling; It is also known that one can write down sets of "super-quantum"
correlations that are more non-local than is allowed by quantum mechanics, yet are still
non-signaling; > s.a. Super-Quantum Theory.
