Average steered coherence in correlated amplitude damping channel

Abstract

The combined effects of memory effects due to correlated actions of the amplitude damping channel on two qubits and temporal correlations in the time evolution of each qubit on the average steered coherence (ASC) are explored. For the input Bell states, it is shown that the two kinds of memory effects are beneficial for enhancing ASC of the output states in a wide time region. In particular, the ASC is immune to decoherence for some input states if the actions of the amplitude damping channel are fully correlated. Moreover, in the infinite-time limit, the positive role of the non-Markovian effect on the steady-state ASC disappears, whereas the correlated actions of the channel are still beneficial to certain input states.
