Non-classical correlations beyond Bell’s inequality violation in qubit-pairs with an intrinsic noise

Abstract

In this paper, we analytically explore two qubits interacting with a coherent harmonic oscillator field under intrinsic noise. The interaction of the uncorrelated two qubits with a harmonic oscillator initially in the superposition of coherent states leads to the generation of nonclassical correlations (NCCs). The NCCs are quantified by local quantum uncertainty (LQU), uncertainty-induced non-locality (UIN), concurrence and Bell’s inequality. It is found that the generated NCCs are enhanced via the intensity coherence and the parameters of the initial harmonic oscillator state. For the even coherent state, the generated NCCs are more robust against the influence of intrinsic noise rate than that the ones of the coherent state. The appearance of the special type of skew-information correlation (in which, LQU and UIN are equal) depends on the superposition of the coherent states. The phenomena of sudden death and birth of entanglement depend not only on the intrinsic noise rate but also on the initial harmonic oscillator field. The generated NCCs could be controlled by adjusting these parameters.
