Sudden Transition between Quantum Correlation and Classical Correlation: the Effect of Interaction between Subsystems
Jun-Yan Yan, Lincheng Wang, X. X. Yi · Chinese Physics Letters · 2011
We study the quantum discord dynamics of a bipartite composite system in the presence of a dissipative environment and investigate the effect of the interaction between the two subsystems. The results show that the interaction can influence the sudden transition between the quantum correlation and the classical correlation and for the maximally mixed marginals initial states, the sudden transition regime will always exist. The entanglements are also discussed in comparison to the quantum discord in describing the quantum correlations.
