Abstract
We investigate the quantum Fisher information (QFI) and quantum entanglement (QE) dynamics of moving two three-level atoms interacting with a thermal field. The time evolution of the quantum system is studied numerically under the effect of intrinsic decoherence (ID) in a thermal environment. ID and thermal environment play a critical role during the time evolution of the quantum system. It is found that QE changes drastically when ID increases in the absence of atomic motion. However, a periodic behavior of QE is observed in the case of moving atoms. The thermal environment is seen to have a prominent effect on QFI in the presence of ID. Moreover, the decay of QE is further suppressed at larger time-scales which ensures the enhanced influence of ID on the system’s dynamics in a thermal environment. However, QFI and QE saturate to a lower level at larger time-scales under these environments. The behavior of QFI and QE is opposite to each other under these environments. Furthermore, it is seen that the thermal environment induces a faster decay of QE as compared to the decay induced by ID. Therefore, ID diminishes the degree of QE for higher-dimensional quantum systems. Moreover, the system’s dynamics changes remarkably by increasing the mean number of photons.
