Protecting steered coherence in squeezed generalized amplitude damping channel with memory

Abstract

We investigate the average steered coherence (ASC) and maximal steered coherence (MSC) of two qubits in a squeezed generalized amplitude damping channel modeled by a squeezed thermal bath with dissipation and memory. By considering the input Bell states, it is shown that while the dissipation and thermal effects induce decay of the ASC and MSC in the output states, the squeezing effect suppresses their decay in the strong (full) squeezing region for the input even-parity (odd-parity) Bell states. Besides, the memory effect due to correlated actions of the channel can also be exploited for suppressing decay of the ASC and MSC.
