Phys. 57, No. 3, 499-503 (2012). Summary: We investigate the effect of decoherence from a spin environment on the quantum channel capacity. Our results imply that the time evolution of the quantum channel capacity depends on the number of freedom degrees of the environment, the tunneling element, the initial state of the environment, and the system-environment coupling strength. From the analysis, we find that the strong tunneling elements and the weak coupling strength can enhance the quantum channel capacity while the environment with a large number of freedom degrees and the strong coupling strength will shrink it.
