Abstract
The dynamics of two coupled spins of 1/2 coupled to spin-bath of a quantum Heisenberg XY type \\cite{Breuer, Yuan} is studied. The center pair of spins served as an quantum open subsystem were initially prepared in a Bell state or a product state and the bath consisted of $N$ ($N\\to\\infty$ as the thermodynamic limit) spins-1/2 is in a thermal state at different temperatures from the beginning. Transformed by the Holstein-Primakoff operator, the model will be treated effectively as two spin qubits embedded in a single mode cavity. Then the von-Neumann entropy, z-component summation and the concurrence of the center spins can be determined by a novel polynomial scheme for the time-evolution of quantum systems. It is found that (i) with increasing temperature, the bath plays a more strong destroy effect on the coherence or entanglement of the subsystem; (ii) the larger the coupling strength between the subsystem spins, the less the variation of the initial state; (iii) the stronger the interaction between the subsystem and the bath, the faster the variation of the initial state.
