Nonlocal effects via Local Quantum Fisher Information: Characterizations and Interpretations

Abstract

We introduce a quantum Fisher information based measurement-induced nonlocality (QFI-MIN), which quantifies the maximal statistical distinguishability induced by locally invariant unitary dynamics. The proposed measure inherits desirable properties including positivity, local unitary invariance, monotonicity under local operations, and immunity to the local ancilla problem. Analytical expressions are obtained for pure states, arbitrary two-qubit states, and two-qubit X states, revealing a direct connection with entanglement for pure systems. We further establish clear operational interpretations of QFI-MIN in quantum parameter estimation, local channel discrimination, and correlation-assisted communication. Its behavior under amplitude damping, depolarizing, and generalized amplitude damping channels demonstrates robustness against environmental noise. The proposed framework provides a physically consistent and operationally meaningful quantifier of quantum correlations, linking nonlocality, quantum metrology, and quantum information processing
