Abstract
This paper investigates the evolution and protection of quantum correlations (entanglement and quantum discord (QD) in particular), in a hybrid system formed by a qubit subjected to an external random field and a qutrit subjected to a colored noise generated either by a single or collection of many random bistable fluctuators (RBFs). Two different input states namely the one- and two-parameter class of states of qubit–qutrit are investigated. Entanglement and QD are quantified by means of negativity and geometric QD and their protection investigated by recourse to the weak measurement (WM) and weak measurement reversal (WMR) technique. It is shown that the immunity of entanglement and QD against decoherence can be efficiently increased by properly adjusting the parameters of the input states, no matter the spectrum of the colored noise and the number of RBFs considered. Moreover, it is shown that the WM and WMR technique fails in protecting entanglement in the studied system, but can effectively protect QD from the detrimental impacts of the decoherence. In fact, it is shown that performing a WM followed by a WMR on the qubit of the system allows to shield the QD of the system from decoherence even when the decoherence process is strengthen by considering a large number of RBFs affecting the qutrit.
