Abstract
A new quantum correlation in terms of the average distance between the reduced state and the i-th output reduced states under local von Neumann measurements is proposed. It is shown that only the product states do not contain this quantum correlation and thus it is different from both the quantum discord (QD) Ollivier and Zurek (Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 017901 (2001)) and the measurement-induced nonlocality (MIN) Luo and Fu (Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 120401 (2011)). For pure states, it is twice of the quantity MIN, and is smaller than QD and entanglement of formation (EOF). A general analytical formula is given and a lower bound for the two qubits case is obtained. Furthermore, we compare it with EOF and QD through the Werner state and the isotropic state respectively.
