Section titled âTechnical Documentation & Analysis: Quantum Correlation Dynamics in NV Centersâ6CCVD Reference Document: QNTM-NV-2QBT-0325 Source Paper: Decoherence of quantum local fisher and uncertainty information in two-qubit NV centers (Scientific Reports, 2025)
Executive Summary
Section titled âExecutive SummaryâThis research validates the Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) center in diamond as a robust platform for scalable quantum information processing, emphasizing the critical role of material purity and precise external field control.
- Core Achievement: Successfully modeled the dynamics of quantum correlations (Local Quantum Fisher Information (LQFI), Local Quantum Uncertainty (LQU), and Concurrence) in a two-qubit NV center system under intrinsic decoherence.
- Material Requirement: The stability and long coherence times observed rely fundamentally on the use of high-purity diamond to minimize intrinsic decoherence coupling ($1/\gamma$).
- Control Enhancement: Increasing the external electric control field ($E_x$) and the dipole-dipole coupling ($\Gamma$) significantly enhances the amplitude and frequency of quantum correlations.
- Correlation Robustness: Under weak intrinsic decoherence ($1/\gamma = 5 \times 10^{−5}$), the system exhibits robust, oscillating generations of LQFI, LQU, and Concurrence.
- Decoherence Mitigation: The study confirms that external control fields can be utilized as an additional resource for suppressing decoherence effects in NV-center qubits.
- Wigner-Yanase-Fisher Correlation: LQFI and LQU frequently exhibit the same oscillatory behavior, confirming a specific âWigner-Yanase-Fisher correlationâ regime, crucial for understanding non-entanglement-based quantum resources.

Key Methodologies
Section titled âKey MethodologiesâThe study utilized a theoretical framework based on the Milburn intrinsic decoherence model applied to a two-qubit NV center system in diamond.
- System Modeling: The system was defined by a total Hamiltonian incorporating zero-field splitting, Zeeman interaction (from $B_z$), electric control field interaction (from $E_x$), and spin-NV dipole-dipole coupling ($\Gamma$).
- Decoherence Implementation: Intrinsic decoherence was modeled using the Milburn equation (Eq. 2), which accounts for non-unitary evolution (pure dephasing) dominated by the intrinsic NV-center decoherence coupling ($\gamma$).
- Initial State Preparation: The system was initialized in an excited-state triplet, $M(0) = |1_A 1_B\rangle \langle 1_A 1_B|$, representing two electron spins aligned upwards.
- Quantum Quantification: The time evolution of quantum correlations was tracked using three key quantifiers:
- Local Quantum Fisher Information (LQFI): Measures interferometric power and Wigner-Yanase-Fisher correlation.
- Local Quantum Uncertainty (LQU): Measures the minimum Wigner-Yanase skew information.
- Concurrence ($C(t)$): Standard measure of entanglement.
- Dynamic Analysis: Numerical simulations were performed to analyze how varying external parameters ($B_z$, $E_x$, $\Gamma$) and decoherence coupling ($1/\gamma$) affected the oscillatory generation and degradation of the quantum correlations over time.
