The dynamics of a pair of coupled harmonic oscillators in separate or common
thermal environments is studied, focusing on different indicators of
quantumness, such as entanglement, twin oscillators
correlations and quantum discord. We compare their decay under the effect of
dissipation and show, through a phase diagram, that entanglement is more likely to survive asymptotically
than twin oscillators correlations.
