We investigate the behavior of quantum correlations in some specific Werner-like two-qubit states, where the qubit interacts individually with non-Markovian environment. We employ the local quantum uncertainty and trace distance discord to quantify the amount of quantum correlations between the evolved qubits and the corresponding analytical expressions are derived. For specific values of the parameters characterizing the whole system, the dynamics of quantum correlations exhibits collapse and revival phenomena. The influence of the non-Markovianity is also investigated to analyze the monotonic decay of quantum correlations in the limiting case of Markovian regime. Furthermore, we show that trace distance discord captures quantum correlations that cannot be revealed by local quantum uncertainty in some particular situations.

In this paper, we investigate the time evolution of quantum correlations in a two-qubit system influenced by an optical channel. The system?s dynamics are analyzed in terms of concurrence (CN), Bell non-locality (BN), and trace distance discord (TDD), which quantify entanglement, non-local correlations, and quantum discord, respectively. Our model explores the impact of key parameters such as the beam-splitter angle, ?, channel parameter, ?, and angular frequency, ?, on these quantum correlations. The results show that CN and BN exhibit oscillatory behavior with periodic revivals, but tend to decay more rapidly under noisy conditions. Conversely, TDD demonstrates greater robustness, persisting even when CN and BN collapse, indicating the survival of quantum correlations in separable states. Higher noise strength and angular frequencies induce faster oscillations and revivals across all measures, with systems prepared with stronger initial quantum correlations showing increased resilience. This study highlights the robustness of quantum discord in noisy environments and its potential role in quantum information processing, even in the absence of entanglement.
A special emphasis is devoted to the concept of local quantum uncertainty as an indicator of quantum correlations. We study quantum discord for a class of two-qubit states parametrized by two parameters. Quantum discord based on local quantum uncertainty, von Neumann entropy and trace distance (Schatten 1-norm) are explicitly derived and compared. The behavior of quantum correlations, quantified via local quantum uncertainty, under decoherence effects is investigated. We show that the discordlike local quantum uncertainty exhibits the possibility of freezing behavior during its evolution.
We analyze the dynamics of various kinds of correlations present between two initially entangled independent qubits, each one subject to a local phase-noisy laser. We give explicit expressions for the relevant quantifiers of correlations for the general case of single-qubit unital evolution, which includes the case of a phase-noisy laser. Although the light field is treated as classical, we find that this model can describe revivals of quantum correlations. Two different dynamical regimes of decay of correlations occur, a Markovian one (exponential decay) and a non-Markovian one (oscillatory decay with revivals) depending on the values of system parameters. In particular, in the non-Markovian regime, quantum correlations quantified by quantum discord show an oscillatory decay faster than that of classical correlations. Moreover, there are time regions where nonzero discord is present while entanglement is zero.
In this paper, we explore the dynamics of quantum correlations in an isolated physical quantum dot under the influence of intrinsic decoherence (ID). We characterize quantum correlations in the quantum dot system using Concurrence to capture the amount of entanglement, and we use Trace Distance Discord (TDD) and Local Quantum Uncertainty (LQU) to measure nonclassical correlations. Likewise, we investigate the effect of ID on the temporal evolution of these quantifiers. In particular, the behavior of the two discord-like quantifiers in terms of the system parameters and the ID rate is investigated and analyzed in detail. We found that TDD and LQU behave similarly for different parameters characterizing the considered system and that TDD is more resistant than Concurrence and LQU against the ID effects. Our results also show that the robustness of quantum correlations can be modulated by adjusting the ID rate, quantum dot physical properties and initial conditions.
We investigate the quantum correlation dynamics of three independent qubits each locally interacting with a zero temperature non-Markovian reservoir by using the Geometric measure of quantum discord (GQD). The dependence of quantum correlation dynamicson amount of non-Markovian, the degree of initial quantum correlation and purity of the initial states are studied in detail. It is found that the quantum correlation of such three qubits system revives after instantaneous disappearance period when a proper amount of non-Markovian is present. A comparison to the pairwise quantum discord and entanglement dynamics in three qubits system is also made.
We analyse the dynamics of quantum correlations by obtaining the exact expression of Bures distance entanglement, trace distance discord, and local quantum uncertainty of two two-level atoms. Here, the atoms undergo two-photon transitions mediated through an intermediate virtual state where each atom is separately coupled to a dissipative reservoir at zero temperature in the presence of the Stark shift effect. We have investigated the dynamics of this atomic system for two different initial conditions of the environment. In the first case, we have assumed the environment's state to be in ground state and in the other case, we have assumed the state to be in the first excited state. The second initial condition is significant as it shows the role played by both the Stark shift parameters in contrast to only one of the Stark shift parameters for the first initial condition. Our results demonstrate that quantum correlations can be sustained for an extended period in the presence of Stark shift effect in the case of both Markovian and non-Markovian reservoirs. The effect in the non-Markovian reservoir is more prominent than the Markovian reservoir, even for a very small value of the Stark shift parameter. We observe that among the correlation measures considered, only local quantum uncertainty is accompanied by a sudden change phenomenon, i.e. an abrupt change in the decay rate of a correlation measure. Our findings are significant as preserving quantum correlations is one of the essential aspects in attaining optimum performance in quantum information tasks.
