Investigating the favorable configurations for non-classical correlations preservation has remained a hotly debated topic for the last decade. In this regard, we present a two-qubit Heisenberg spin chain system exposed to a time-dependent external magnetic field. The impact of various crucial parameters, such as initial strength and angular frequency of the external magnetic field along with the state’s purity and anisotropy of the spin-spin on the dynamical behavior of quantum correlations are considered. We utilize local quantum uncertainty (LQU) and quantum interferometric power (QIP) to investigate the dynamics of quantum correlations. We show that under the critical angular frequency of the external magnetic field and the spin-spin anisotropy, quantum correlations in the system can be successfully preserved. LQU and QIP suffer a drop as the interaction between the system and field is initiated, however, are quickly regained by the system. This tendency is confirmed by computing a measure of non-classical correlations according to the Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt inequality. Notably, the initial and final preserved levels of quantum correlations are only varied when variation is caused in the state’s purity.
Abstract Quantum correlation plays an important role in quantum information processing, for which various quantifiers have been proposed so far. In this paper, we address the dynamics of local quantum uncertainty (LQU) as a reliable quantifier of quantum correlation in a two-qubit Heisenberg spin chain in the presence of nonuniform external magnetic field and Dzyaloshinski-Moriya interaction with intrinsic decoherence. The influences of the initial states, external magnetic field strength, Dzyaloshinski-Moriya interaction strength and intrinsic decoherence rate on the dynamics of LQU have been in detail investigated. Our analytical results show that the dynamics of LQU is strongly depended on the form of initial states. For an initial correlated state, the dynamical behaviors of LQU exhibit either monotonic decay or damped oscillations with respect to time. While for an initial separable state, quantum correlation quantified by LQU can be created due to the Dzyaloshinski-Moriya interaction and Heisenberg anisotropic interaction. Besides, the relationship between LQU and l -norm coherence or concurrence is also demonstrated in the present model.
Abstract The thermal quantum correlations’ dynamics of an anisotropic two-qubit Heisenberg XYZ model in the presence of a x-projection external magnetic field are investigated in this paper. We use local quantum-Fisher information (LQFI), and log-negativity, and local quantum-uncertainty (LQU) to analyze the generated quantum correlation dynamics. Using the associated parameters, we demonstrate the successful generation of entanglement and quantum correlations beyond entanglement in the anisotropic spin-chain state. Certain values and ranges of anisotropy, external magnetic field, and spin coupling strength are proposed that can be used to achieve either a non-maximal or maximal quantum correlated state. The characterization of the spin-chain state by various parameters determines the dynamical patterns, degree, and preservation limits of the associated quantum correlations. Finally, the LQFI, LQU, and log-negativity functions’ robustness is highly dependent on their parameters, and they rarely agree on the degree of quantum correlations and dynamical patterns.
We study thermal quantum correlations and coherence in Heisenberg
XY model with anisotropic interactions under a uniform magnetic field $ B $. Using concurrence

Cl as quantifiers, we analyze how magnetic anisotropy $ δ_m $, coupling anisotropy $ δ_c $, Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction $ D $, temperature $ T $, and magnetic field $ B $ modulate quantum resources. At low temperatures and relevant magnetic fields, the entanglement is maximized, but exhibits sudden death for $ δ_m = 0 $, which turns into a smooth decay as $ δ_m $ increases, highlighting its stabilizing role. LQU shows that stronger anisotropy suppresses quantum correlations, while $ \mathbb{B} $ induces a non-monotonic response peaking at a critical field $ B_c
.Bell−CHSHnonlocalityviolations( \mathbb{B} > 2 $) persist below $ B_c
,butthermalnoise( T \geq 1 $) suppresses them. Coherence $ C_l $ is most robust to thermal fluctuations, especially for high
δm, which also dampens abrupt quantum phase transitions. The DM interaction is essential for entanglement generation, with $ D $ and anisotropy synergistically enhancing correlation resilience. We identify a hierarchy of thermal degradation: nonlocality ($ \mathbb{B}
)vanishesfirst,followedbyentanglement( C $), then general quantum correlations (LQU), while coherence $ C_l $ persists the longest. These results demonstrate tunable control of quantum resources via anisotropy and external parameters, providing insights for the design of robust spin-based quantum technologies.
In this paper, we investigate the pairwise quantum correlations in a two-qubit anisotropic Heisenberg model under the interplay of Calogero–Moser (CM) and Dzyaloshinsky–Moriya (DM) interactions in the presence of the homogeneous and inhomogeneous magnetic fields. We employ, respectively, the logarithmic negativity and local quantum uncertainty (LQU) to characterize the degree of entanglement and the amount of quantum correlations between the two parties of the considered system in equilibrium with a thermal reservoir. We analyze and compare the behaviors of the two quantum correlation quantifiers in the thermal state of the chain spin system and we discuss how relative distance between spins, equilibrium temperature, DM interaction coupling parameter and the external magnetic fields strengths influence the variations of both quantum correlation measures in such system.
Abstract Many measures of quantum correlations have been introduced so far, and now their properties are carefully studied both theoretically and experimentally. The most important among them are quantum entanglement and quantum discord. Recently, it was shown that the Wigner–Yanase skew information and quantum Fisher information also can serve as measures of nonclassical correlations. These discordlike measures are called local quantum uncertainty (LQU) and interferometric power or local quantum Fisher information (LQFI), correspondingly. In this paper the behavior of LQU and LQFI is considered at thermal equilibrium of the two-qubit Heisenberg models in the absence and presence of an external magnetic field; these cases correspond to the Bell-diagonal and general X states, respectively.
Abstract In this paper, we address the dynamics of nonclassical correlation, quantified by local quantum uncertainty (LQU) in a two-qubit system subjected to classical environmental noise when the initial states of system are prepared in a specific class of Bell states. Two different configurations of the local noisy environment are examined. In the first case, we consider a system of two independently qubits, each locally interacting with its classical random noise, whereas in the second case we consider only one of qubits subject to a classical random noise. Our results show that the dynamics of LQU is strongly related to both the dephasing and relaxation factors. The behaviors of LQU in above two cases exhibit similar variation, with monotonic decay in the weak coupling region, while revivals in the strong coupling region depending on the ratio of the switching rate and coupling strength to the qubit. By controlling this ratio, long-time survival of LQU is obtained. Therefore, our results may open an interesting perspective in using of the long-time survival of quantum correlations for practical applications in quantum information science.
