Suppressing the degeneration of quantum resources through coupling auxiliary qubits

Abstract

Abstract The nonlocal advantage of quantum coherence (NAQC), quantum coherence (QC), and quantum entanglement are promising quantum resources to achieve various quantum information tasks. However, the decoherence of quantum resource is detrimental to the implementation of quantum information processing, and it brings enormous challenge to the application of quantum resource. Here, consider that Alice and Bob possess a two-qubit X state, and the two-qubit X state is composed of two atoms. Bob’s atom interacts with a reservoir, and Alice's atom is subjected to the influence of amplitude damping channel. We design an effective scheme by coupling auxiliary qubits with reservoir, and this scheme can significantly suppress the dissipation of the NAQC, QC, and quantum entanglement. The results reveal that the NAQC, QC, and quantum entanglement degenerate with the increase of time t in the strong coupling regime or weak coupling regime when absenting auxiliary qubits. If one adds some auxiliary qubits in the reservoir, these quantum resources can be strengthened both in the strong coupling regime and weak coupling regime. Auxiliary qubits can help us effectively resist the dissipation of these quantum resources. In comparison with the QC and quantum entanglement, the NAQC is most fragile and it is most vulnerable to the influences of reservoir and noise channel. One needs introduce more auxiliary qubits to suppress the dissipation of the NAQC, especially in the scenarios of the weak coupling regime and strong channel parameter. In this sense, our investigations may provide a potent technique for restraining decoherence and offer a new platform for quantum resource application.
