We investigate the dynamics of a maximally entangled mixed state (MEMS) under the action of correlated noise channels. The channel acts in a way that its successive uses are correlated. We have studied the MEMS properties, including quantum coherence and entanglement. For partially correlated channels, both the entanglement and coherence of MEMS are found to decay much slower than those of the memoryless channels. Moreover, we observe a freezing effect of coherence for phase damping as well as depolarizing channels and freezing of entanglement for phase-damping channels with perfect memory. For amplitude damping and depolarizing channels, memory helps in either delaying the sudden death of entanglement or slowing the decay rate of coherence. These observations suggest that memory channels perform better than memoryless channels in maintaining the integrity of quantum states and have utility in quantum information processing protocols.
