Samuel Hedemann
College of Arts & Sciences | PhysicsSamuel Hedemann, Ph.D., visiting assistant professor of physics, had his research article, “,” published on May 20, 2020 by Springer Science+Business Media. This paper, presents several highly useful results in quantum information, with applications extending across all technical fields. It defines several measures of nonlocal correlation in N-body systems, which are exactly computable for all states. In particular, the most general measure, called correlance, can detect all possible nonlocal correlation (including bound entanglement), and is also adapted for nonquantum data, with demonstrations showing that it completely outperforms traditional measures such as the Pearson correlation coefficient. Another measure, the discordance, is shown to be an attractive alternative to quantum discord, both in terms of computability and conceptual validity.
