Abstract
Exploiting partial knowledge of a qubit in terms of its basis-dependent measure of imaginarity, we formulate a steering criterion for bipartite qubit systems, which requires two dichotomic measurements at the untrusted side and two mutually unbiased bases at the trusted side. We show that quantum correlations embodied through our proposed imaginarity steering inequality (ISI) can be witnessed by suitably constructed Hermitian operators that depend on fewer state parameters and require measurement of fewer observables than for witnessing other forms of quantum non-local correlations. The monogamy of such correlations is also demonstrated. We further underscore the steering of imaginarity as an efficient non-local resource in the presence of white noise and under unsharp measurements, showing the robustness of imaginarity steering compared with certain other steering criteria.
It is shown that quantum correlations embodied through the proposed imaginarity steering inequality (ISI) can be witnessed by suitably constructed Hermitian operators that depend on fewer state parameters and require measurement of fewer observables than for witnessing other forms of quantum non-local correlations.

Certifying genuine multipartite entanglement in quantum systems can require a number of measurements that grows exponentially with the system size. Here we introduce a criterion based on correlation-tensor subsector lengths restricted to local measurement planes and show that it can be evaluated using partially randomized measurements without an explicit exponential dependence on the number of qubits. We derive the corresponding bounds for $k$-separable states and illustrate the criterion using representative families of multipartite entangled states. Finally, we demonstrate the practical applicability of the method on an ion-trap quantum computer by certifying genuine five-partite entanglement.

Bell-state measurements are essential ingredients in many protocols for quantum information processing, ranging from quantum teleportation and dense coding to entanglement distribution in quantum networks. Their power relies on the fact that they are measurements in an entangled basis of a two-particle system and that the used Bell-state basis can be generated from a single Bell state by local unitary transformations. How can these measurements be generalized to more particles? We develop a general framework for this state-to-measurement problem: We introduce a hierarchy of classes of measurement bases, distinguished by the local transformations the parties may use for their generation from a single state. This leads to a generalization of the concept of maximally entangleable (or weighted hypergraph) states and the identification of a novel maximally entangled basis of four qubits, being a candidate for data-hiding tasks or distillation protocols. Finally, we prove that not all forms of entanglement can be encoded in an entire measurement basis.
Quantum Fisher Information (QFI), which sets the fundamental bound on parameter estimation precision via the quantum Cramér-Rao inequality, is investigated for a general single-mode Gaussian state before and after teleportation. Using a two-mode squeezed vacuum state as a shared entanglement resource between Alice and Bob, we analyze the teleportation protocol under environmental noise, focusing on diffusion and dissipation induced by a thermal bath. By comparing QFI for several parameters of the input state before and after teleportation, we evaluate the effectiveness of QFI transfer. We find that increasing the squeezing of the shared state enhances QFI preservation. Notably, under certain conditions, environmental interactions can help maintain QFI, particularly for shared states with high frequency, suggesting a subtle interplay between system dynamics and decoherence.

Every two-qubit measurement basis composed of maximally entangled eigenstates can be transformed into the Bell basis via local unitary operations. For higher dimensions, in contrast, there exist inequivalent bases composed of maximally entangled eigenstates. Here, we provide a single-parameter family of two-qutrit maximally entangled measurement bases, and demonstrate that none of the bases are equivalent to each other under local unitaries. These bases are constructed from the continuous family of symmetric informationally complete sets of states in dimension three. By studying the local unitary bases that generate the family of two-qutrit maximally entangled measurement bases, we construct the first examples of wild error bases in the smallest dimension where these can exist. Finally, we discuss how distinct measurements in the family lead to differences in performance in several scenarios relevant in quantum information.

Extracting total correlations from a quantum system usually requires reconstructing its state, whereas many experiments access only a few measurement settings. A possible shortcut is to add the mutual informations obtained from complementary measurements; in dimensions above two, however, this procedure can count the same classical correlation twice. We establish that qubits are protected from such overcounting. For every two-qubit state, the correlations observed in two complementary local bases are bounded by the premeasurement quantum mutual information. The proof traces this protection to binary-entropy curvature on the Bloch ball and combines a qubit information-exclusion tradeoff with data processing under local dephasing. Consequently, two correlation tables give a tomography-free lower bound on total correlation. A score above one bit also certifies a quantitative one-way entanglement-distillation rate; when applied to the Choi state of a qubit channel, the same data lower bound its quantum capacity. The theorem therefore identifies both an operational use of complementarity and the trusted two-dimensional setting in which its correlation accounting is valid.
