Analysis of Quantum Correlations Obtained Using Local Optimal Universal Asymmetric Cloners.

We apply the local optimal universal asymmetric cloning machine on an initially pure entangled state of two qubits. As output, we obtain two final states which present quantum correlations. We analyze three types of quantum correlations among the final states, namely, concurrence, quantum discord, and consonance.

Quantum Correlation Dynamics in Controlled Two-Coupled-Qubit Systems.

We study and compare the time evolutions of concurrence and quantum discord in a driven system of two interacting qubits prepared in a generic Werner state. The corresponding quantum dynamics is exactly treated and manifests the appearance and disappearance of entanglement. Our analytical treatment transparently unveils the physical reasons for the occurrence of such a phenomenon, relating it to the dynamical invariance of the structure of the initial state.
