“…In particular, if Alice uses two non-orthogonal pure states, it is known that the minimum error discrimination implemented by Bob maximizes the mutual information and minimizes the error probability [ 11 , 16 , 21 ]. On the other hand, quantum correlations [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ] can be used as a criteria of quantumness of the states [ 22 , 23 ] and also these correlations allow us to quantify the resources that are required to carry out quantum communication protocols [ 24 , 25 , 26 ]. Some of the most studied quantum correlations are: entanglement [ 27 ], quantum discord [ 2 , 28 ], thermal discord [ 29 , 30 ], and global discord [ 31 , 32 ].…”
