A comparative study of local quantum Fisher information and local quantum uncertainty in Heisenberg XY model

Recently, it has been shown that the quantum Fisher information via local observables and via local measurements (i.e., local quantum Fisher information (LQFI)) is a central concept in quantum estimation and quantum metrology and captures the quantumness of correlations in the multi-component quantum system [S. Kim et al., Phys. Rev. A. 97, 032326 (2018)]. This new discord-like measure is very similar to the quantum correlations measure called local quantum uncertainty (LQU). In the present study, we have revealed that LQU is bounded by LQFI in the phase estimation protocol. Also, a comparative study between these two quantum correlations quantifiers is addressed for the quantum Heisenberg $XY$ model. Two distinct situations are considered. The first one concerns the anisotropic $XY$ model and the second situation concerns the isotropic $XY$ model submitted to an external magnetic field. Our results confirm that LQFI reveals more quantum correlations than LQU.
