- Abstract: We investigate thermal quantum correlations in a system of two coupled superconducting spin qubits described by an effective Andreev spin-qubit Hamiltonian in the presence of spin-orbit interaction. Using Local Quantum Fisher Information (LQFI) and Local Quantum Uncertainty (LQU) as quantum-correlation quantifiers, we analyze the effects of the superconducting phase difference, tunneling amplitude, spin-orbit coupling, and temperature on the nonclassical properties of the system. Analytical expressions for the thermal density matrix are obtained and employed to evaluate both quantities. Our results show that quantum correlations decrease monotonically with increasing temperature, while stronger tunneling and spin-orbit interaction significantly enhance their robustness. Moreover, the superconducting phase introduces a pronounced periodic behavior through the modulation of the effective exchange couplings, leading to constructive and destructive interference regimes that strongly influence the correlations. By analyzing the energy spectrum of the effective Hamiltonian, we demonstrate that the enhancement of quantum correlations is closely associated with an increased energy gap between the ground and first excited states, which suppresses thermal excitations and stabilizes the correlated ground state. Furthermore, LQFI is consistently larger than LQU throughout the investigated parameter space, reflecting its higher sensitivity to quantum fluctuations and local parameter estimation. These findings reveal the microscopic mechanism governing thermal quantum correlations in Andreev spin qubits and highlight the important roles of phase engineering, spin-orbit interaction, and tunneling in protecting quantum resources in hybrid superconducting quantum devices.

The level anti-crossing, or magnetic clock transition, associated with this gap has been directly monitored by heat capacity experiments.
The comparison of these results with those obtained for a Co derivative, for which tunnelling is forbidden by symmetry, shows that the clock transition leads to an effective suppression of intermolecular spin-spin interactions.
