Abstract
Local quantum uncertainty (LQU) as a reliable measure of nonclassical correlations has been recently proposed by Girolami et al. (Phys Rev Lett 110:240402, 2013). In this paper, we have derived an explicit analytical expression of LQU and presented the level surfaces of constant LQU for a class of two-qubit X-states beyond Bell-diagonal states. The dynamical behavior of quantum correlations via the LQU under decoherence environment is studied, and the phenomenon of a sudden change of LQU is demonstrated. Our results are illustrated through the action of different noisy environments individually on a single qubit of quantum system where there is a necessary condition for the occurrence of sudden change of LQU.
