(color online) Time evaluation of the quantum correlations between two QDs mediated by different kinds of fermions. The parameters are set as follows: tunneling coupling λ1 = λ2 = λ, tunneling rate between the QDs and the leads Γ = 0, (a) QD energies εd1 = εd2 = 0 and inter-MF coupling εM = 0.5λ for two QDs mediated by a pair of MFs, (b) εd1 = εd2 = 0 and εM = 0 for two QDs mediated by a pair of MFs, (c) εd1 = εd2 = 0.25λ and energy εc = 0.5λ for two QDs mediated by a regular fermion, (d) εd1 = εd2 = 0 and εc = 0 for two QDs mediated by a regular fermion, (e) εd1 = εd2 = 0 and εc1 = εc2 = 0 for two QDs mediated by a pair of regular fermions, (f) εd1 = εd2 = 0 and εc1 = εc2 = 0.5 λ for two QDs mediated by a pair of superconducting fermions with pairing potential Δ = 5λ, (g) εd1 = εd2 = 0 and εc1 = εc2 = 0 for two QDs mediated by a pair of superconducting fermions with pairing potential Δ = 5λ.
