Non-Classical Correlations Beyond Entanglement in Noisy Hyperfine Systems: Dynamics of Quantum Dissonance and One-Way Deficit Under Dephasing and Dissipation
We examine non-classical correlations in separable systems through quantum dissonance and one-way quantum deficit. Our study focuses on the generation and dynamics of these correlations in hydrogen atoms influenced by dephasing and dissipative decoherence. We treat the electron–proton spin coupling in the hyperfine structure as a two-qubit quantum system, showing that quantum dissonance and a one-way deficit can emerge from initially classical configurations via this interaction. We further analyze the time evolution of the quantum dissonance and the one-way quantum deficit under dephasing and dissipative quantum dynamics. The results indicate that both measures exhibit a relatively slow decay under decoherence, highlighting their robustness against environmental effects. These insights highlight the promise of hydrogen atoms for robust quantum information protocols in noisy environments.

We investigate the quantum dynamics of entanglement and fidelity in the hyperfine structure of hydrogen atoms under dephasing noise, modeled via the Lindblad master equation. The effective Hamiltonian captures the spin–spin interaction between the electron and proton, with dephasing incorporated through local Lindblad operators. Analytical solutions for the time-dependent density matrix are derived for various initial states, including separable, partially entangled, and maximally entangled configurations. Entanglement is quantified using the concurrence, while fidelity measures the similarity between the evolving state and the initial state. Numerical results demonstrate that entanglement exhibits oscillatory decay modulated by the dephasing rate, with anti-parallel spin states displaying greater robustness compared to parallel configurations, often leading to entanglement sudden death. Fidelity dynamics reveal similar damped oscillations, underscoring the interplay between coherent hyperfine evolution and environmental dephasing. These insights elucidate strategies for preserving quantum correlations in atomic systems, with implications for quantum information processing and metrology.
We investigate the quantum dynamics of coherence in the hyperfine structure of hydrogen atoms subjected to dephasing noise, modeled using the Lindblad master equation. The effective Hamiltonian describes the spin–spin interaction between the electron and proton, with dephasing introduced via Lindblad operators. Analytical solutions for the time-dependent density matrix are derived for various initial states, including separable, partially entangled, and maximally entangled configurations. Quantum coherence is quantified through the l1-norm measures, while purity is evaluated to assess mixedness. Results demonstrate that coherence exhibits oscillatory decay modulated by the dephasing rate, with antiparallel spin states showing greater resilience against noise compared to parallel configurations. These findings highlight the interplay between coherent hyperfine dynamics and environmental dephasing, offering insights into preserving quantum resources in atomic systems for applications in quantum information science.
This paper investigates the dynamics of quantum and classical geometric correlations in the hyperfine structure of the hydrogen atom under pure dephasing noise, focusing on the interplay between entangled initial states and environmental effects. We employ the Lindblad master equation to model dephasing, deriving differential equations for the density matrix elements to capture the evolution of the system. The study explores various entangled initial states, characterized by parameters a1, a2, and a3, and their impact on correlation dynamics under different dephasing rates Γ. A trace distance approach is utilized to quantify classical and quantum geometric correlations, offering comparative insights into their behavior. Numerical analysis reveals a transition point where classical and quantum correlations equalize, followed by distinct decay and stabilization phases, influenced by initial coherence along the z-axis. Our results reveal a universal sudden transition from classical to quantum decoherence, consistent with observations in other open quantum systems. They highlight how initial state preparation and dephasing strength critically influence the stability of quantum and classical correlations, with direct implications for quantum metrology and the development of noise-resilient quantum technologies. By focusing on the hyperfine structure of hydrogen, this study addresses a timely and relevant problem, bridging fundamental quantum theory with experimentally accessible atomic systems and emerging quantum applications.
In this work, we investigate the quantum coherence and purity in hydrogen atoms under dissipative dynamics, with a focus on the hyperfine structure states arising from the electron-proton spin interaction. Using the Lindblad master equation, we model the time evolution of the density matrix of the system, incorporating both the unitary dynamics driven by the hyperfine Hamiltonian and the dissipative effects due to environmental interactions. Quantum coherence is quantified using the L1 norm and relative entropy measures, while purity is assessed via von Neumann entropy, for initial states, including a maximally entangled Bell state and a separable state. Our results reveal distinct dynamics: for the Bell states, both coherence and purity decay exponentially with a rate proportional to the dissipation parameter, whereas for a kind of separable state, coherence exhibits oscillatory behavior modulated via the hyperfine coupling constant, superimposed on an exponential decay, and accompanied by a steady increase in entropy. Higher dissipation rates accelerate the loss of coherence and the growth of von Neumann entropy, underscoring the environment's role in suppressing quantum superposition and driving the system towards mixed states. These findings enhance our understanding of coherence and purity preservation in atomic systems and offer insights for quantum information applications where robustness against dissipation is critical.
This work presents a comprehensive study of quantum correlations and their degradation under environmental dephasing within the atomic hydrogen system. By analyzing the magnetic coupling between the electron and proton spins in the 1s hyperfine state, we elucidate how coherent spin interactions generate entangled states and govern their temporal evolution. The investigation focuses on three key measures of quantum correlations—Bell nonlocality, Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering, and quantum purity—each reflecting a different level within the hierarchy of nonclassical correlations. Analytical formulations and numerical simulations reveal that, in the absence of decay, all quantities remain steady, indicating the preservation of coherence. When dephasing is introduced, each measure decays exponentially toward a stationary lower bound, with Bell nonlocality identified as the most fragile, followed by steering and purity. A three-dimensional analysis of Werner states under dephasing further establishes the critical purity thresholds required for Bell inequality violations. The results highlight the interdependence between magnetic coupling, decoherence, and initial entanglement, providing a unified framework for understanding correlation dynamics in open quantum systems. These findings have direct implications for the development of noise-resilient quantum information protocols and spin-based quantum technologies, where preserving nonlocal correlations is essential for reliable quantum operations.
In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of quantum correlations in the ground-state hyperfine manifold of the hydrogen atom subjected to a static external magnetic field and local pure dephasing. The electron–proton spin pair is modeled as a bipartite two-qubit system evolving under the combined effects of hyperfine coupling, Zeeman splitting, and a Lindblad master equation that describes Markovian dissipative processes. Employing exact analytical solutions for the time-dependent density matrix elements (derived in the Markovian open-system framework), we quantify entanglement persistence via concurrence and state stability via Uhlmann fidelity with respect to the initial preparation. For an initial Werner state, numerical results reveal that the external magnetic field substantially modifies the system dynamics: Both concurrence and fidelity exhibit pronounced dependence on the Zeeman parameter, producing field-controlled oscillations, delayed entanglement sudden death, and altered decoherence rates. This behavior originates from Zeeman-induced lifting of hyperfine degeneracies, symmetry breaking of the isotropic Werner state, and redistribution of populations and coherences. Unlike previous studies that treat hyperfine interactions, Zeeman splitting, or decoherence in isolation, the present work provides a unified analytical treatment that simultaneously incorporates all three mechanisms. The findings underscore the competition between coherent hyperfine coupling and environmental noise and open new pathways for precision spectroscopy and robust quantum information protocols based on atomic spin degrees of freedom.
