Correlations transference and apparition of a metastable decoherence-free subspace in dissipative reservoirs

The dynamic of correlations in a system composed of a two-mode quantum field coupled with the environment is studied. The quantum field corresponds to two entangled coherent states whose amplitude we vary up to the mesoscopic regime. We show that under the onset of decoherence, correlations in the quantum field are not lost but transferred to the environment. We also found that sudden transitions in the decoherence regimes appear along with the dynamics depending on the coherent states' amplitude. Increasing the amplitude of the entangled coherence state results in the apparition of a metastable decoherence-free subspace (DFS) in the field subsystem, and the transference of classical correlations freezes. This subspace only exists during a time interval that depends on the average number of photons. Interestingly, the reservoir subsystem also experiences the apparition of a DFS. Only quantum correlations are transferred while the DFS exists.
