Coherence in a tripartite system. (a) The model examined in this paper. Three qubits are individually coupled to dissipative reservoirs which creates a decay from the \(|1\rangle \) to the \(|0\rangle \) state. The reservoirs can be coupled in a Markovian or non-Markovian way, depending upon the parameters of Hamiltonian (1). The initial state is generally considered to be a tripartite entangled state, of the form of a W, GHZ, or \(W\bar{W}\) state. (b) The coherence distribution in a tripartite system. The local coherence Cj, the bipartite global coherences Cj:k, and the tripartite global coherence C1:2:3 are as marked.
