Robustness of Measurement–Induced Correlations Under Decoherence Effect

In this article, we study the dynamics of quantum correlation measures such as entanglement and measurement–induced nonlocality (MIN). Starting from an arbitrary Bell-diagonal mixed state under Markovian local noise such as bit-phase flip, depolarizing and generalized amplitude damping channel, we provide the decays of the entanglement measured by concurrence and quantum correlation captured by different forms of MIN (trace distance, Hilbert–Schmidt norm and relative entropy) as a function of the decoherence parameters. The effect of local noises on the dynamical behaviors of quantum correlation is also observed. We show the existence of specific and important features of MIN such as revival, noise robustness and sudden change with respect to decoherence parameter. It is observed that all the noises cause sudden death of entanglement for partially entangled states. Further, we show the existence of separable quantum states with non-zero quantum correlations in terms of MIN.
