International Journal of Theoretical Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

We derive the phenomena of thermalizing quantum correlations (including the entanglement, quantum discord and the consonance) in a system composed of two atoms. Making use of the thermo field dynamics formalism, we investigate finite temperature field effects on the results of thermalization.
