Disentanglement, Bell-nonlocality violation and teleportation capacity of the decaying tripartite states

Dynamics of disentanglement as measured by the tripartite negativity and Bell nonlocality as measured by the extent of violation of the multipartite Bell-type inequalities are investigated in this work. It is shown definitively that for the initial three-qubit Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) or W class state preparation, the Bell nonlocality suffers sudden death under the influence of thermal reservoirs. Moreover, all the Bell-nonlocal states are useful for nonclassical teleportation, while there are entangled states that do not violate any Bell-type inequalities, but still yield nonclassical teleportation fidelity.

► Comparison of different aspects of quantum correlations. ► Robustness of the initial tripartite GHZ and WW class states against decoherence. ► Bell-nonlocality sudden death under the influence of thermal reservoir. ► A nonzero minimum tripartite negativity is needed for nonclassical teleportation. ► All the Bell-nonlocal states yield nonclassical teleportation fidelity.
