Global quantum correlations in tripartite nonorthogonal states and monogamy properties

Abstract

A global measure of quantum correlations for tripartite nonorthogonal states is presented. It is introduced as the overall average of the pairwise correlations existing in all possible partitions. The explicit expressions for the global measure are derived for squared concurrence, entanglement of formation, quantum discord and its geometric variant. As illustration, we consider even and odd three-mode Schr\"odinger cat states based on Glauber coherent states. We also discuss limitations to sharing quantum correlations known as monogamy relations.
