Quantum coherence and entanglement under the influence of decoherence

Abstract

Abstract In this work, we delve into the dynamic traits of the relative entropy of quantum coherence (REQC) as the quantum system interacts with the different noisy channels, drawing comparisons with entanglement (concurrence). The research results demonstrate the broader prevalence and stronger robustness of the REQC as opposed to concurrence. It’s worth noting that the bit flip channel cannot uphold a constant nonzero frozen the REQC, besides, the concurrence follows a pattern of temporary reduction to zero, followed by recovery after a certain time span. More importantly, the REQC maintains its presence consistently until reaching a critical threshold, whereas concurrence experiences completely attenuation to zero under the influence of phase damping and amplitude damping channels.
