Abstract

Abstract We investigate a hybrid qubit–qutrit system exposed to both a magnetic field and classical dephasing noise. The quantum system’s characteristics encompass diverse parameters, including spin-exchange interaction, dephasing, and the magnetic field. To incorporate thermal effects, we employ the system’s Hamiltonian to generate an initial qubit–qutrit density matrix within the framework of the Gibbs density operator. Furthermore, we model dephasing effects on the initial thermal state of the system using an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process. We employ geometric discord, negativity, and entropic coherence functions to depict the quantum correlations across various parameter settings. Our results reveal that initially, quantum correlations attain non-maximal values, with their dynamics intricately reliant on the underlying system parameters. Specifically, when the system is primarily characterized by the magnetic field, we observe heightened levels of quantum correlations. Additionally, temperature-based characterization is found to have the most detrimental effect on the state. Geometric discord is observed to capture a higher degree of quantum correlations, albeit saturating rapidly at zero compared to entanglement and coherence. Finally, we investigated the effects of common environmental coupling and more pronounced non-Markovian dynamics in the system, revealing an enhanced preservation of quantum correlations. These modifications allow for prolonged coherence and entanglement, underscoring the potential of structured environmental interactions to mitigate decoherence effects and sustain quantum correlations over time.

Enhancement of Quantum Correlations in Qubit-Qutrit Systems under the non-Markovian Environment*

Abdul Basit, Hamad Ali, Fazal Badshah +1 more

Abstract We investigate the time evolution of quantum correlations of a hybrid qubit-qutrit system under the classical Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) noise. Here we consider two different one-parameter families of qubit-qutrit states which independently interact with the non-Markovian reservoirs. A comparison with the Markovian dynamics reveals that for the same set of initial condition parameters, the non-Markovian behavior of the environment plays an important role in the enhancement of the survival time of quantum correlations. In addition, it is observed that the non-Markovian strength ( γ / Γ ) has a positive impact on the correlations time. For the initial separable states it is found that there is a finite time interval in which the geometric quantum discord is frozen despite the presence of a noisy environment and that interval can be further prolonged by using the non-Markovian property. Moreover, its decay can be significantly delayed .

Quantumness of hybrid systems under quantum noise

M. Abdellaoui, N. -E. Abouelkhir, A. Slaoui +2 more

We investigate the quantum correlations in an axially symmetric hybrid qubit-qutrit system subjected to different noisy environments. We first introduce a physical model and analyze its Hamiltonian structure, emphasizing the role of hybrid dimensionality and axial symmetry. The effects of decoherence are then examined under two local noise mechanisms, namely dephasing and phase-flip channels, acting on the qubit and qutrit subsystems in both symmetric and asymmetric configurations. Quantum correlations are quantified using negativity to capture entanglement and quantum discord based on linear entropy to characterize more general nonclassical correlations. Our results show that both thermal fluctuations and phase noise lead to a monotonic degradation of quantum correlations, with increasing temperature accelerating coherence loss and inducing entanglement sudden death at finite temperatures. While negativity vanishes abruptly under sufficiently strong noise, quantum discord persists beyond the entanglement threshold, revealing residual quantum correlations in mixed states. We further demonstrate that asymmetric noise configurations significantly enhance the robustness of both entanglement and discord by partially shielding coherence in the less affected subsystem. A comparative analysis reveals that phase-flip noise is more destructive than pure dephasing, leading to faster suppression of quantum correlations.

Quantum correlations dynamics of dipolar-coupled spin systems subject of a common dephasing noisy channels

A. Elamraoui, L. Jebli, Mohammed Daoud A

We address the dynamics of quantum coherence, quantum correlations, quantum steering and Bell nonlocality in a model of two interacting qubits, initially prepared in a thermal state. The two qubit are coupled via a dipolar interaction and exposed to Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya (DM) interaction and classical fluctuating fields influenced by Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (OU)-Static (ST) mixed noise in common environments. We analyse the dynamics effects on quantum resources, as Bell nonlocality, quantum steering, quantum entanglement, quantum discord and quantum coherence. We find that the dynamics of quantum correlations are not only strongly affected by the type of system-environment coupling but also by the kind of the considered noise. The entanglement diminution is over time, accompanied by damped oscillations, indicative of coherent dynamics. The DM interaction induces a decrease in quantum coherence and correlations with increasing values, leading to complete maximizing at critical thresholds. The effects of thermal effects destroy the quantum correlation. The variations in state noise disorder parameters reveal enhanced preservation and reduced oscillations as the noise disorder parameter decreases, emphasizing its crucial role in shaping quantum correlations.

Qubit–Qutrit dynamics under amplitude damping

Abbas Manan, Ramita Sarkar, Khushnood Shah +2 more

We study the dissipative dynamics of a hybrid qubit–qutrit system initially prepared in the interacting thermal (Gibbs) state of the full Hamiltonian and subsequently subjected to a non-Markovian amplitude-damping channel. To benchmark the persistence of nonclassical features in this noisy setting, we track four complementary quantum resources: entanglement via negativity (NEG), nonclassical correlations via geometric quantum discord (GQD), coherence via the [Formula: see text]-norm of coherence (LNC) and measurement-induced quantumness via local quantum uncertainty (LQU). We show that coherent exchange coupling g enhances both the initial magnitudes and lifetimes of all resources by strengthening qubit–qutrit hybridization, whereas strong dispersive (cross-Kerr) coupling [Formula: see text] suppresses thermal correlations already at [Formula: see text], thereby limiting the resources available before dissipation sets in. Environmental memory effects, controlled by the reservoir cutoff frequency, slow the decay and can induce some revival pattern–assisted decay, extending the operational time window slightly. Across a broad parameter range, coherence (LNC) is consistently the most robust resource, often persisting after entanglement and discord have decayed, indicating that coherence-based protocols may provide superior stability in noisy hybrid architectures.

Long-time protection of thermal correlations in a hybrid-spin system under random telegraph noise

Fadwa Benabdallah, Atta Ur Rahman, Saeed Haddadi +1 more

The engineering features of transmitting mediums and their impact on different characteristics of a quantum system play a significant role in the efficient performance of nonlocal protocols. For this purpose, the dynamics of open quantum systems and coupling mediums remain a pathway. In this work, we investigate the dynamics of quantum correlations using negativity, uncertainty-induced nonlocality, and local quantum Fisher information in a hybrid qubit-qutrit thermal state when coupled with a magnetic field and influenced by random telegraph noise. Different features of the system parameters are taken into account while designing longer preservation of qubit-qutrit correlations. We show that the temperature has an inverse impact on the initial values of negativity, uncertainty-induced nonlocality, and local quantum Fisher information. When the magnetic field is characterized by different features, the entanglement, nonlocality, and Fisher information show a variety of dynamical maps, assuring their distinct nature. In addition, the qubit-qutrit correlations undergo repeated revivals when the configuration is restricted to the non-Markovian regime. On the other hand, an exponential drop with a single minimum is observed in the Markovian regime of the coupled field. Most importantly, our findings reveal that the present coupled fields have several advantages that can be leveraged to generate the optimal degree of entanglement, nonlocality, and local quantum Fisher information preservation in quantum dynamical maps.

Metrological non-classical correlations and quantum coherence in hybrid ( 1 / 2 , 1 ) system under decoherence channels

Abdessamie Chhieb, Mansoura Oumennana, Zakaria Bouafia +3 more

Abstract Our research focuses on the interplay between thermal noise and decoherence channels on quantum coherence and nonclassical correlations in a hybrid ( 1 / 2 , 1 ) Heisenberg model. This hybrid system integrates the Dzyaloshinsky–Moriya interaction (DMI) and operates under the influence of an external magnetic field. We use local quantum Fisher information (LQFI) for correlation estimation and relative entropy of coherence for coherence measurement in the considered system. Our investigation encompasses various parameters of the hybrid system, the strength of the DMI and the intensity of the external magnetic field. Our findings underscore that elevated temperature compromises both nonclassical correlations and coherence. On the other hand, the robustness of the DMI mitigates the impact of thermal noise on quantum Fisher information correlations and relative entropy of coherence in the hybrid system. Additionally, we inspect the impact of decohering channels-specifically, dephasing, phase flip, and bit- and trit-flip channels-on thermal coherence and quantum correlations. The introduction of various decoherence processes into the hybrid qubit-qutrit system leads to a competition with thermal fluctuations, thereby giving rise to out-of-equilibrium states. Our results indicate that as the decoherence strength parameter (p) increases, both LQFI and relative entropy of coherence exhibit similar behaviors in the dephasing and phase flip channels. These resources gradually diminish, eventually disappearing entirely at p = 1. In the context of the bit- and trit-flip channels, quantum coherence displays notable distinctions compared to what is observed under dephasing and phase flip channels, revealing that coherence can be preserved if the DMI is strong and the intensity of the external magnetic field is reduced. These findings are important since it is crucial to first understand the decoherence process, arising from the interaction with the environment, and then to find ways to hinder this decoherence in order to avoid the complete loss of the quantum resources necessary to quantum information processing.
