- Abstract: Quantum correlations are a fundamental property of quantum many-body states.
Yet they remain experimentally elusive, hindering certification of genuine
quantum behavior, especially in quantum materials. Here we show that the
momentum-dependent dynamical susceptibility measured via inelastic neutron
scattering enables the systematic reconstruction of quantum correlation
functions, which express the degree of quantum coherence in the fluctuations of
two spins at arbitrary mutual distance. Using neutron scattering data on the
compound KCuF$_3$ $\unicode{x2014}$ a system of weakly coupled $S=1/2$
Heisenberg chains $\unicode{x2014}$ and of numerically exact quantum Monte
Carlo data, we show that quantum correlations possess a radically different
spatial structure with respect to conventional correlations. Indeed, they
exhibit a new emergent length of quantum-mechanical origin $\unicode{x2014}$
the quantum coherence length $\unicode{x2014}$ which is finite at any finite
temperature (including when long-range magnetic order develops). Moreover, we
show theoretically that coupled Heisenberg spin chains exhibit a form of
quantum monogamy, with a trade-off between quantum correlations along and
transverse to the spin chains. These results highlight real-space quantum
correlators as an informative, model-independent means of probing the
underlying quantum state of real quantum materials.

We introduce a quantum version for the statistical complexity measure, in the context of quantum information theory, and use it as a signalling function of quantum order-disorder transitions.
We apply our measure to two exactly solvable Hamiltonian models, namely: the $1D$-Quantum Ising Model and the Heisenberg XXZ spin-$1/2$ chain.
We also compute this measure for one-qubit and two-qubit reduced states for the considered models, and analyse its behaviour across its quantum phase transitions for finite system sizes as well as in the thermodynamic limit by using Bethe ansatz.

We find that the quantum simulator results can indeed be explained by the KZM for open-system quantum dynamics with phase-flip errors.
This implies that the theoretical predictions of the generalized KZM theory, which assumes isolation from the environment, applies beyond its original scope to an open system.
