Abstract

We investigate the dynamics of quantum coherence of a system consisting of two interacting atoms coupling with a common cavity which is filled with a nonlinear Kerr-like medium, in the presence of intrinsic decoherence. It is shown that the stationary quantum coherence can arise in the system as the time approach to infinite. In particular, the amount of stationary quantum coherence can be enhanced by adjusting the Kerr interaction and dipole-dipole interaction. Furthermore, we also explore the influence of Kerr interaction and dipole-dipole interaction on the transfer of quantum information by a witness of the trace distance and find that the transferred information and stationary quantum information can be controlled by the Kerr interaction and dipole-dipole interaction.
