Quantum correlations are based on the non-separability of the total system’s statistical operator.

The notion of non-separability, on the other hand, is given with respect to the precise meaning of separability only. So it is a crucial task to define separability in terms of statistical operators.

A recently proposed approach offers several advantages with respect to the usual definition. The von Neumann entropySallows to develop a measureIa=bof the relative non-separability of an operatorawith respect to another operatorb. This is a system immanent quantity of any property type as, e. g. spin or polarization. We compare the effect of the different approaches onSandIa=b. Finally, the applicability of a common separability criterion will be checked.

Key words: Statistical Operators; von Neumann Entropy; Separability.
