Intrinsic decoherence effects on nonclassical correlations in a symmetric spin–orbit model

Abstract

Nonclassical correlations dynamics of local quantum Fisher information, trace-norm measurement-induced nonlocality, and log-negativity are investigated in a symmetric spin–orbit model. This model is described by a Heisenberg XYZ two-spin system exposed to the magnetic field and Kaplan–Shekhtman–Entin-Wohlman–Aharony (KSEA) interaction under the intrinsic decoherence effects. To evaluate the resourcefulness of this model for the generation and preservation of quantum correlations, we consider two qubits that are initially prepared in two different states, namely uncorrelated and maximally correlated states. The magnetic field is discovered to be effective at generating and preserving nonclassical correlations. Besides, we find that the KSEA interaction can alter the generation, preservation, and revival features of nonclassical correlations in the two-qubit system. However, the bipartite nonclassical correlations become extremely fragile when intrinsic decoherence effects appear.
