摘要: We investigate the dynamical maps of coherence, entanglement, and purity in two distinct three-qubit class states: the Werner (W-like) and Greeneberger-Horne-Zeillinger (GHZ-like) states. Utilizing a classical channel affected by Ornstein Uhlenbeck (OU) and Random Telegraph (RT) noise, we explore two scenarios: coupling two qubits with RT noise and one with OU noise, and vice versa. The preservation of coherence, entanglement, and purity is analyzed using the $\ell_1$ norm of coherence, entanglement witness operation, and purity measures. Our results reveal that the considered dephasing channels lead to a decrease in initially encoded quantum correlations, even in the presence of Gaussian OU noise, which typically induces monotonic decay. The non-monotonic behavior and decay are primarily governed by the parameters of OU and RT noises, with the configuration where OU noise affects two qubits and RT noise affects the third being optimal for quantum correlation preservation. Comparing the two states, the GHZ-like state exhibits superior preservation under RT noise influencing two local fields and qubits, while the W-like state performs better when OU noise affects two qubits. Overall, the GHZ-like state shows enhanced revival characteristics compared to the W-like state.
