Sklar's Theorem and Quantum State Reconstruction from All-Context Dependence
Abstract
Sklar's theorem separates the marginals of a joint distribution from its dependence structure. We apply this viewpoint to Born statistics generated by local quantum measurements. For non-product two-qubit states, the dependence nuclei over all local binary projective measurement contexts determine the state up to at most a discrete double-spin-flip ambiguity. The corresponding scalar optimization, combined with the quantum total correlation, reproduces global quantum discord.
