A special emphasis is devoted to the concept of local quantum uncertainty as an indicator of quantum correlations. We study quantum discord for a class of two-qubit states parametrized by two parameters. Quantum discord based on local quantum uncertainty, von Neumann entropy and trace distance (Schatten 1-norm) are explicitly derived and compared. The behavior of quantum correlations, quantified via local quantum uncertainty, under decoherence effects is investigated. We show that the discordlike local quantum uncertainty exhibits the possibility of freezing behavior during its evolution.

Green sulfur bacteria is a photosynthetic organism whose light-harvesting complex accommodates a pigment-protein complex called Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO). The FMO complex sustains quantum coherence and quantum correlations between the electronic states of spatially separated pigment molecules as energy moves with nearly a 100% quantum efficiency to the reaction center. We present a method based on the quantum uncertainty associated to local measurements to quantify discord-like quantum correlations between two subsystems where one is a qubit and the other is a qudit. We implement the method by calculating local quantum uncertainty (LQU), concurrence, and coherence between subsystems of pure and mixed states represented by the eigenstates and by the thermal equilibrium state determined by the FMO Hamiltonian. Three partitions of the seven chromophores network define the subsystems: one chromophore with six chromophores, pairs of chromophores, and one chromophore with two chromophores. Implementation of the LQU approach allows us to characterize quantum correlations that had not been studied before, identify the most quantum correlated subsets of chromophores, and determine that, in the strongest associations of chromophores, the LQU is a monotonically increasing function of the coherence.

We investigate the behavior of quantum correlations in some specific Werner-like two-qubit states, where the qubit interacts individually with non-Markovian environment. We employ the local quantum uncertainty and trace distance discord to quantify the amount of quantum correlations between the evolved qubits and the corresponding analytical expressions are derived. For specific values of the parameters characterizing the whole system, the dynamics of quantum correlations exhibits collapse and revival phenomena. The influence of the non-Markovianity is also investigated to analyze the monotonic decay of quantum correlations in the limiting case of Markovian regime. Furthermore, we show that trace distance discord captures quantum correlations that cannot be revealed by local quantum uncertainty in some particular situations.

The local and non local behavior of the accelerated Gisin state are investigated either before or after filtering process. It is shown that, the possibility of predicting the non-local behavior is forseen at large values of the weight of the Gisin and acceleration parameters. Due to the filtering process, the non-locality behavior of the Gisin state is predicted at small values of the weight parameter. The amount of non classical correlations are quantified by means of the local quantum uncertainty (LQU)and the concurrence, where the LQU is more sensitive to the non-locality than the concurrence. The phenomenon of the sudden changes is displayed for both quantifiers. Our results show that, the accelerated Gisin state could be used to mask information, where all the possible partitions of the masked state satisfy the masking criteria. Moreover, there is a set of states, which satisfy the masking condition, that is generated between each qubit and its masker qubit. For this set, the amount of the non-classical correlations increases as the acceleration parameter increases . Further, the filtering process improves these correlations, where their maximum bounds are much larger than those depicted for non-filtered states.
