Abstract
Quantum correlations in qutrit Werner states are extensively investigated with five popular methods, namely, original quantum discord (OQD) (Ollivier and Zurek in Phys Rev Lett 88:017901, 2001), measurement-induced disturbance (MID) (Luo in Phys Rev A 77:022301, 2008), ameliorated MID (AMID) (Girolami et al. in J Phys A Math Theor 44:352002, 2011), relative entropy (RE) (Modi et al. in Phys Rev Lett 104:080501, 2010) and geometric discord (GD) (Dakić et al. in Phys Rev Lett 105:190502, 2010). Two different analytic expressions of quantum correlations are derived. Quantum correlations captured by the former four methods are same and bigger than those obtained via the GD method. Nonetheless, they all qualitatively characterize quantum correlations in the concerned states. Moreover, as same as the qubit case, there exist quantum correlations in separable qutrit Werner states, too.

If \(\theta _1=\theta _2=\theta _3=\phi _4=0\), then \(\frac{\partial S(\rho _{AB}|\{\Pi _{A}^j\})}{\partial \theta _1} =\frac{\partial S(\rho _{AB}|\{\Pi _{A}^j\})}{\partial \theta _2}=\frac{\partial S(\rho _{AB}|\{\Pi _{A}^j\})}{\partial \theta _3} =\frac{\partial S(\rho _{AB}|\{\Pi _{A}^j\})}{\partial \phi _4}=0\).
It is easy to see that \(\frac{\partial \mathcal{Q}_G(\rho _{AB})}{\partial {\theta _1}}= \frac{\partial \mathcal{Q}_G(\rho _{AB})}{\partial {\theta _2}}= \frac{\partial \mathcal{Q}_G(\rho _{AB})}{\partial {\theta _3}}= \frac{\partial \mathcal{Q}_G(\rho _{AB})}{\partial {\phi _4}}=0\) hold if \(\theta _1=\theta _2=\theta _3=\phi _4=0\).
