Abstract
Lunch served at 12:00
 
Quantum Discord expresses quantum correlations beyond those associated with entanglement. Although its theory has been extensively studied, quantum discord has yet to become a standard tool in experimental studies of correlations. We propose an optical circuit for  attaining quantum measurement advantage in a system that has no  quantum entanglement.  Our device
produces symmetric two-qubit X -states with controllable anti-diagonal elements, and does not require entangled states as input. We discuss the use of this device in a two-qubit quantum game. When
entanglement is absent, the maximum quantum advantage in this game is 1/3 bit. A slightly diminished quantum advantage, 0.311 bit, can be
realized with a simplified transaction protocol.
