The discovery of the intriguing phenomenon that certain kinds of quantum correlations remain impervious to noise up to a specific point in time and then suddenly decay, has generated immense recent interest. We exploit dynamical decoupling sequences to prolong the persistence of timeinvariant quantum discord in a system of two NMR qubits decohering in independent dephasing environments. We experimentally prepare two-qubit Bell-diagonal quantum states that interact with individual dephasing channels and demonstrate the effect of dynamical decoupling on the preservation of both quantum and classical correlations. We are able to freeze quantum discord over long time scales in the presence of noise, using dynamical decoupling. We use robust state-independent dynamical decoupling schemes for state preservation and demonstrate that these schemes are able to successfully preserve quantum discord.Introduction:-The quantification of quantum correlations, distinction from their classical counterparts, and their behavior under decoherence, is of paramount importance to quantum information processing [1]. Several measures of nonclassical correlations have been developed [2] and their signatures experimentally measured on an NMR setup [3,4]. Quantum discord is a measure of nonclassical correlations that are not accounted for by quantum entanglement [5]. While the intimate connection of quantum entanglement with quantum nonlocality is well understood and entanglement has long been considered a source of quantum computational speedup [6], the importance of quantum discord, its intrinsic quantumness and its potential use in quantum information processing protocols, is being explored in a number of contemporary studies [7].
