• Abstract: Correlations play a pivotal role in various fields of science, particularly in quantum mechanics, yet their proper quantification remains a subject of debate. In this work, we aim to discuss the challenge of defining a reliable measure of total correlations. We first outline essential properties that an effective correlation measure should satisfy and review existing measures, including quantum mutual information, the p-norm of the correlation matrix, and the recently defined quantum Pearson correlation coefficient. Additionally, we introduce new measures based on R\'enyi and Tsallis relative entropies, as well as the Kullback-Leibler divergence. Our analysis reveals that while quantum mutual information, the p-norm, and the Pearson measure exhibit equivalence for two-qubit systems, they all suffer from an ordering problem. Despite criticisms regarding its reliability, we argue that quantum mutual information remains a valid measure of total correlations.

We employ Genuine Multipartite Correlations (GMC) based on the invariance of our model under particle permutation. We map the Dicke model with interacting qubits to spin in solids interacting with a quantum field of magnons, thus demonstrating a potential experimental realization of this model.

• Quantifying total correlations in quantum systems through the Pearson correlation coefficient [0.23999111269325263]
  We show that a quantum state can be correlated in either a classical or a quantum way, i.e., the two cases are mutually exclusive. We also illustrate that, at least for the case of two-qubit systems, the distribution of the correlations among certain locally incompatible pairs of observables provides insight in regards to whether a system contains classical or quantum correlations.

• Multipartite Optimized Correlation Measures and Holography [8.594140167290098]
  We focus on optimized correlation measures, linear combinations of entropies minimized over all possible purifications of a state that satisfy monotonicity conditions. We present a procedure to derive such quantities, and construct a menagerie of symmetric optimized correlation measures on three parties. Some correlation measures vanish only on product states, and thus quantify both classical and quantum correlations. We then use a procedure motivated by the surface-state correspondence to construct holographic duals for the correlation measures as linear combinations of bulk surfaces.

• Quantum Statistical Complexity Measure as a Signalling of Correlation Transitions [55.41644538483948]
  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.
