Abstract
We introduce an infinite family of quantifiers of quantum correlations beyond entanglement which vanish on both classical-quantum and quantum-classical states and are in one-to-one correspondence with the metric-adjusted skew informations. The ‘quantum f–correlations’ are defined as the maximum metric-adjusted f–correlations between pairs of local observables with the same fixed equispaced spectrum. We show that these quantifiers are entanglement monotones when restricted to pure states of qubit-qudit systems. We also evaluate the quantum f–correlations in closed form for two-qubit systems and discuss their behaviour under local commutativity preserving channels. We finally provide a physical interpretation for the quantifier corresponding to the average of the Wigner–Yanase–Dyson skew informations.

A Monotonicity of Eq. (35) Under Local Unital Channels
A Monotonicity of Eq. (35) Under Local Unital Channels
We will here prove that, if \(\varLambda _A\) is a unital channel on qubit A, then the following inequality holds:
In order to prevent the notation from becoming too cumbersome, in this Appendix we shall leave identity operators implicit wherever convenient: for example in the equation above we defined \(\varLambda _A(\rho ^{AB})\equiv \varLambda _A\otimes \mathbb {I}_B(\rho ^{AB})\).
To begin our proof, let us assume that \(\rho ^{ABC}\) is the optimal dilation of \(\rho ^{AB}\) for the sake of Eq. (35), that is, \(\widetilde{\mathrm{Q}}^{f}(\rho ^{AB})={\mathrm{Q}}^{f}_{AB}(\rho ^{ABC})\), where the subscript AB indicates what subsystems are involved in the calculation of the relevant quantum f–correlations. Consider now any dilation \(\tau ^{ABCD}\) of \(\varLambda _{A}(\rho ^{ABC})\) into a larger space, including a further ancillary system D. We note that \(\tau ^{ABCD}\) is automatically also a dilation of \(\varLambda _{A}(\rho ^{AB})\). Hence, the following inequality holds by definition:
Eq. (36) can then be proven by showing that \({\mathrm{Q}}^{f}_{AB}(\tau ^{ABCD})\le {\mathrm{Q}}^{f}_{AB}(\rho ^{ABC})\) for a particular choice of \(\tau ^{ABCD}\).
To proceed, we use the fact that any unital qubit operation can be equivalently written as a random unitary channel [88], i.e.
for an appropriate collection of unitaries \(\{U_{A}^{(k)}\}\) (acting on subsystem A) and probabilities \(\{q_{k}\}\). A suitable dilation of \(\varLambda _{A}(\rho ^{ABC})\) may then be chosen as
where is an orthonormal basis on system D. We shall now make use of Eqs. (7) and (28) to calculate the matrix \({M^f_\tau }\) corresponding to \(\tau ^{ABCD}\), relating it to the matrix \(M^f_\rho \equiv M^f\) of \(\rho ^{ABC}\). We will then show that the maximum singular value of \(M^f_\tau \) is smaller than that of \(M^f\).
To do so we infer from Eq. (39) that the nonzero eigenvalues of \(\tau ^{ABCD}\) are the same as those of \(\rho ^{ABC}\), say \(\{p_i\}\), while the associated eigenvectors are
being the eigenvectors of \(\rho ^{ABC}\). Using the shorthand \(\varvec{\sigma }=\{\sigma _1,\sigma _2,\sigma _3\}\) as in the main text, we can then write
where we have used the fact that . From the well known correspondence between the special unitary group \(\mathsf{SU}(2)\) and special orthogonal group \(\mathsf{SO}(3)\), it follows that for each k there exists an orthogonal matrix \(R_{k}\) such that \((U_{A}^{(k)})^{\dagger }\varvec{\sigma }_{A} U_{A}^{(k)} = R_{k} \varvec{\sigma }_{A}\). Applying this idea to the last line in Eq. (42) we thus obtain
where \(S=\sum _{k} q_{k} R_{k}\) is a real matrix such that \(SS^T\le \mathbb I\), since it is a convex combination of orthogonal matrices. Since \(M^f\) and \(M^f_\tau \) are real matrices, their singular values are found as the square roots of the eigenvalues of \(Q=M^f(M^f)^T \) and \(Q_\tau =M^f_\tau (M^f_\tau )^T=SQS^T,\) respectively. Let \(\varvec{v}\) be the normalised eigenvector of \(Q_\tau \) corresponding to its largest eigenvalue. Then
where we have used that \(\varvec{v}\) is normalised and \(SS^T\le \mathbb I\). This in turn implies that \(s_{\max }(M_\tau ^f)\le s_{\max }(M^f)\), concluding our proof.
The proof can be repeated to show monotonicity under unital channels on qubit B as well. This proves that the quantity \(\widetilde{\mathrm{Q}}^{f}(\rho ^{AB})\) defined in Eq. (35) is a bona fide quantifier of two-sided quantum correlations which obeys requirement (Q3) for any state \(\rho ^{AB}\) of a two-qubit system.
