Effects of weak measurements on sudden change of quantum discord

We study the peculiar dynamics of two qubits quantum discord with a sudden change in behavior. It is widely agreed in the literature nowadays that environment induce sudden change behavior of quantum discord. We explore the sudden change phenomenon under the action of local-independent environments, considering the discord of two-qubit which is obtained by means of the weak measurements on one of the two-qubit. It is shown that the sudden change phenomenon does not appear under weak measurements. We find that the quantum discord with weak measurements decays in a monotonic fashion, and show that quantum discord might exhibit a sudden change only for the strong (projective) measurement. We believe that environment is not the main role of the sudden change, but the quantum correlation itself is.
