Abstract: In the last few years one realized that if the state of a bipartite system can be written as $su{m}_{i,j}{p}_{ij}|a_i><a_i|otimes|b_j><b_j|$, where $|a_i>$ and $|b_j>$ form orthonormal basis for the subsystems and $p_{ij}$ is a probability distribution, then it possesses at most classical correlations. In this article we introduce a nonlinear witness providing a sufficient condition for classicality of correlations (absence of quantum discord) in a broad class of two-qubit systems. Such witness turns out to be necessary and sufficient condition in the case of Bell-diagonal states. We show that the witness introduced here can be readily experimentally implemented in nuclear magnetic resonance setups.
