• Figure 1

Entanglement of 4-qubit permutation-invariant state, i.e., Eq. (14) mixed by $| S(4,1) \rangle$ and $| S(4,1) \rangle$. The analytical result is represented by solid line and the numerical result by open circles.

• Figure 2

Quantum discord of 4 and 5-qubit superpositions of two canonical orthonormal GHZ states as in (15). The 4-qubit numerical result is represented by open circles and the 5-qubit numerical result by crosses, compared to the analytical result represented by solid line.

• Figure 3

(Color online) Quantum discord of $3$ to $6$ qubit states (18) mixed by permutation-invariant states $| S(n,1) \rangle$ and $| S(n,1) \rangle$.

• Figure 4

(Color online) Quantum discord of 4-qubit mboxstates (19) mixed by $| S(4,1) \rangle$, $| S(4,1) \rangle$ and $| S(4,3) \rangle$, plotted on $\alpha$-$\beta$ plane.

• Figure 5

(Color online) Robustness of the turning point: Quantum discord of the original 4-qubit state in (19) when $\alpha=0$, and the states after tracing out one and two qubits from the original state. The turning point exists in all three states, showing its robustness.
