In this work, we study the thermal quantum coherence and fidelity in a semiconductor double quantum dot. The device consists of a single electron in a double quantum dot with Rashba spin-orbit coupling in the presence of an external magnetic field. In our scenario, the thermal entanglement of the single electron is driven by the charge and spin qubits, the latter controlled by Rashba coupling. Analytical expressions are obtained for thermal concurrence and correlated coherence using the density matrix formalism. The main goal of this work is to provide a good understanding of the effects of temperature and several parameters in quantum coherence. In addition, our findings show that we can use the Rashba coupling to tune in the thermal entanglement, quantum coherence, as well as, the thermal fidelity behavior of the system. Moreover, we focus on the role played by thermal entanglement and correlated coherence responsible for quantum correlations. We observe that the correlated coherence is more robust than the thermal entanglement in all cases, so quantum algorithms based only on correlated coherence may be stronger than those based on entanglement.
