Quantum Correlation Dynamics for an Open Multi Qutrit System

Abstract

We study the correlation dynamics of a system composed of arbitrary numbers of qutrits interacting with a common environment. Initially, the system is assumed to be in a low dimensional subspace of the Hamiltonian called "decoherence-free subspace". Environment induced quantum entanglement and discord is calculated between pair of qutrits of the system as measures of non-classical correlations. Finally the steady state distribution of entanglement and discord is determined with respect to the total number of qutrits of the system.
