NMR dynamics of quantum discord for spin-carrying gas molecules in a closed nanopore

Abstract

A local orthogonal transformation that transforms any centrosymmetric (CS) matrix of fourth order to the X form is found. A picewise-analytic-numerical formula Q=min{Q_\pi/2,Q_\theta,Q_0}, where Q_\pi/2 and Q_0 are analytical expressions and the branch Q_{\theta} is found by numerical searching the optimal measurement angle \theta\in(0,\pi/2), is proposed to calculate the quantum discord Q of general X state. The developed approaches are applied to a quantitative description of recently predicted flickerings (periodic birth and death) of the quantum-information pair correlation between nuclear 1/2 spin of atoms or molecules of a gas (for examples Xe^129) in a finite asymmetric volume in the presence of a strong magnetic field.
