We experimentally investigate quantum features in a bi-partite Gaussian state. The state is generated by modulating an initially squeezed state and mixing it with the vacuum on a symmetric beamsplitter. Due to the modulation, the squeezing is destroyed and the output state is separable, but it possesses Gaussian quantum discord. The quantum nature of the state is experimentally revealed by acting locally on one part of the discordant state. By attenuating one of the output modes we explore discord dynamics in an open system and measure the counterintuitive discord increase. To further highlight the quantumness of the separable bi-partite state we demonstrate the recovery of entanglement. By considering an “environmental system” purifying the state we are able to unveil the flow of correlations in the global system and link the effects above to entanglement with the environment.
