description Quantum entanglement is one of the essential resources in quantum information processing. It is of importance to verify whether a quantum state is entangled. At present, a typical quantum certification focused on the classical correlations has attracted widespread attention. Here, we experimentally investigate the relation between quantum entanglement and the classical complementary correlations based on the mutual information, Pearson correlation coefficient and mutual predictability of two-qubit states. Our experimental results show the classical correlations for complementary properties have strong resolution capability to verify entanglement for two qubit pure states and Werner states. We find that the resolution capability has great performance improvement when the eigenstates of the measurement observables constitute a complete set of mutually unbiased bases. For Werner states in particular, the classical complementary correlations based on the Pearson correlation coefficient and mutual predictability can provide the ultimate bounds to certify entanglement.
