Detecting the quantum discord of an unknown state by a single observable

We propose a single observable to witness the nonzero quantum discord of an unknown quantum state provided that we have four copies of the state. The expectation value of this observable provides a necessary and sufficient condition for nonzero quantum discord in $2\times N$ systems and a necessary condition in …
