@article{Gessner2011DetectingNS, title={Detecting nonclassical system-environment correlations by local operations.}, author={Manuel Gessner and Heinz-Peter Breuer}, journal={Physical review letters}, year={2011}, volume={107 18}, pages={ 180402 } }
We develop a general strategy for the detection of nonclassical system-environment correlations in the initial states of an open quantum system. The method employs a dephasing map which operates locally on the open system and leads to an experimentally accessible witness for genuine quantum correlations, measuring the Hilbert-Schmidt distance between pairs of open system states. We further derive the expectation value of the witness for various random matrix ensembles modeling generic features…

This work proves a bound on the growth of the external information, that is information which cannot be accessed by performing measurements on the system only, as quantified by means of the Helstrom matrix, and exploits this viewpoint to show the optimality of a previously introduced strategy for the local detection of quantum correlations.
