Using the information-theoretic inequality proposed by Braunstein and Caves, we study the evolution of quantum correlation in the presence of different noisy channels. First, we experimentally prepare the high-fidelity two-bit entangled state and simulated the bit-flip and phase-shift noise using an all-optical experimental setup. Then, we study the quantum correlation evolution of a two-bit entangled system using the information difference of entropy under different noisy channels and noisy environments. It is found that the quantum correlation degradation depends on the type of noise and noisy channels. Our work provides a new essential tool for quantum information processing and measurement, and offers new insight into the evolution of quantum correlation in open systems.
