Abstract In this paper, we investigate quantum correlations in a qutrit-like superposition of spin coherent states. In particular, the quantum entanglement, the lower bound of the geometric measure of quantum discord, and the lower bound of local quantum uncertainty for the superposition of spin coherent states are examined, and their properties are characterized and compared. The specific dependence of these different correlation quantities on the spin of the system, the coefficient parameters, and the involved coherence parameters is found. As a part of this analysis, conditions for enhanced quantum correlations of qutrit-like superposition states have been identified, which exposes the characteristics of the states based on which the quantum correlations can be controlled and improved.
