Classical and quantum correlations between two qubits interacting with a field in thermal spin states

Abstract

Abstract In this manuscript, we introduce a quantum physical model consisting of two-atom system that interact with a quantized field initially prepared in the thermal spin states (TSSs). We study the effect of the main parameters of the model on the dynamical behavior atom–atom coherence, atoms-field entanglement, atom–atom entanglement and classical correlation. We show how the quantumness measures can be influenced by the spin number and thermal noise in the absence and presence of time-dependent coupling effect. We obtain that, despite the destructive influence of thermal noise, a considerable amount of coherence, entanglement and classical correlation still remain during the time evolution according the values of spin number. The results also show that the TSSs can offer the advantage of generating the maximal amount of coherence, entanglement and classical correlation during the dynamics.
