- Developed a two-qubit noise model for Bell-state combinations applying globally correlated depolarizing and phase damping together with independent local amplitude damping, extending beyond standard single-qubit treatments.
- Derived closed-form expressions for Wootters' concurrence and von Neumann entropy across all 16 Bell-state superposition and mixing combinations under all three channels.
- Discovered a counterintuitive noise-assisted entanglement enhancement regime present in every channel studied.
- Mapped entanglement vs. non-locality phase boundaries via the Horodecki CHSH criterion, producing complete phase diagrams for three noise channels and five canonical Bell-state symmetry classes.
- Quantified entanglement dynamics for GHZ and W states under noise; analyzed concurrence and entropy of Werner states under depolarization.
- Manuscript posted to arXiv, August 2026; in preparation for Physical Review A.
