• Abstract: We study coordination under restricted information, where classical local models fail to implement certain correlated distributions because agents cannot condition on past history. We show that quantum systems overcome this limitation even when using only separable states. Both classically diagonal encodings (shared latent variables) and separable states with noncommuting local structure (quantum discord) enable the implementation of joint distributions that are unattainable by any classical local rules under the same information constraints. The quantum advantage arises from enabling latent-variable coordination without requiring agents to condition on the latent variable itself -- a construction that succeeds where no classical local model can. Separable states with nonzero quantum discord provide an alternative mechanism for realizing such coordination. At the same time, quantum models remain strictly limited by the information structure: unlike perfect recall, they cannot reproduce fully adaptive dependence on realized past outcomes that are observationally indistinguishable. Thus, quantum correlations serve as a partial substitute for perfect recall.

  Storing quantum information requires battling quantum decoherence, which results in a loss of information over time. To achieve error-resistant quantum memory, one would like to store the information in a quantum superposition of degenerate states engineered in such a way that local sources of noise cannot change one state into another. We show that this platform also allows to detect and correct certain types of errors en route to the goal of true error-resistant quantum memory.

  Quantum dissonance refers to how quantum discord appears as a non-classical correlation in a system without entanglement. We propose two explicit procedures for obtaining separable Werner states, a type of mixed state with nonzero QD.

  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.
