Probing a Hybrid Channel for the Dynamics of Non-Local Features

Abstract

Effective information transmission is a central element in quantum information protocols, but the quest for optimal efficiency in channels with symmetrical characteristics remains a prominent challenge in quantum information science. In light of this challenge, we introduce a hybrid channel that encompasses thermal, magnetic, and local components, each simultaneously endowed with characteristics that enhance and diminish quantum correlations. To investigate the symmetry of this hybrid channel, we explored the quantum correlations of a simple two-qubit Heisenberg spin state, quantified using measures such as negativity, ℓ1-norm coherence, entropic uncertainty, and entropy functions. Our findings revealed that the hybrid channel can be adeptly tailored to preserve quantum correlations, surpassing the capabilities of its individual components. We also identified optimal parameterizations to attain maximum entanglement from mixed entangled/separable states, even in the presence of local dephasing. Notably, various parameters and quantum features, including non-Markovianity, exhibited distinct behaviors in the context of this hybrid channel. Ultimately, we discuss potential experimental applications of this configuration.
