Witnessing quantum correlations in two coupled quantum dots under intrinsic decoherence

Abstract

The influences of intrinsic decoherence, tunnelling rates, and Coulomb coupling interaction on the behaviour of negativity, quantum coherence and the measurement-induced disturbance of two coupled quantum dot molecules are discussed. The aforementioned is implemented by obtaining the exact solution of the Milburn equation, where the initial setting state is prepared in an entangled Werner state. Various phenomena are illustrated for three physical measures, namely entanglement, coherence, and quantum correlations. It showed that the intrinsic decoherence strength plays a destructive role for the maximum bounds of all these physical quantities, in which they are decayed to a non-zero fixed point. Altering the tunnelling rates strength increases/ decreases the maximum and minimum bounds of the three physical measurements, whereby increasing the tunnelling rate lessens the entanglement and denigrates the maximum and minimum values of coherence and quantumness. Otherwise, the Coulomb coupling enhances the stability of all physical quantities.
