文摘

Quantum discord is a resource for quantum information processing tasks, and seeking flexible ways to control it is of practical significance. We investigate the trace distance, Bures distance, and Hellinger distance geometric quantum discords (GQDs) for thermal states of the Heisenberg XX chain with three-spin interactions. The results show that both the XZX + YZY and XZY −YZX types of three-spin interactions can be used to enhance evidently the GQDs for the boundary spins of the chain. The optimal strengths of three-spin interactions for which the maximum enhancement of the GQDs are achieved are strongly dependent on the GQD measures we adopted and the number of spins in the chain.
