Abstract

The production and manipulation of quantum correlation protocols will play a central role where the quantum nature of the correlation can be used as a resource to yield properties unachievable within a classical framework is a very active and important area of research. In this work, we provide a description of a measure of correlation strength between quantum systems, especially for multipartite quantum systems.
