•Thermal classical and quantum correlations in an isolated quantum dot.•Significance of isolated quantum dot system in different tasks of quantum information and optics.•Temperature effect on the correlation behavior.•Optimal condition for maximal correlations.•Asymptotic limit behavior of the classical and quantum correlations.

We investigate the thermal classical and quantum correlations in an isolated quantum dot system (QDS) including the effects of different parameters. The thermal density operator is generated by simplifying the Hamiltonian of the quantum dot to the nature Hamiltonian by integrating and finding the unitary matrix. We find that the quantum discord (QD) is more resistant against temperature effect and might be finite even for higher temperatures in the asymptotic limit. Furthermore, we show that there is an optimal value of temperature such that the different kinds of correlations are maximal. Our results show that QDS is a useful resource and may open new perspectives in different quantum information tasks.
