  A definition of quantum correlation is presented for an arbitrary bipartite
quantum state based on the skew information. This definition not only inherits
the good properties of skew information such as the contractivity and so on,
but also is effective and almost analytically calculated for any bipartite
quantum states. We also reveal the relation between our measure and quantum
metrology. As applications, we give the exact expressions of quantum
correlation for many states, which provides a direct support for our result.
