The quantumness of correlations refers to the distinct way quantum systems share information with their environment, leading to the emergence of classical-like properties through a process called spectral broadcasting. Quantum darwinism posits that the information about a quantum system becomes widely distributed across its environment due to repeated interactions or measurements, which are effectively local. This redundancy in the information results in multiple "copies" of the system's properties being available to different observers. As a consequence, the system's objective classical attributes become apparent, allowing different observers to independently access and interact with the system without the need for global measurements or entanglement. This emergence of classicality through local measurement and the objectivity of the observed properties provide a profound understanding of why the classical world appears well-defined despite its underlying quantum nature.
