Abstract: We investigate the behavior of basis-independent quantum coherence between two modes of a free Dirac field as observed by relatively accelerated observers. Our findings reveal three key results: (i) the basis-independent coherence between modes A and B I decreases with increasing acceleration but remains finite even in the limit of infinite acceleration; (ii) at zero acceleration, the coherence between modes A and B II is nonzero-contrasting with the behavior of basis-dependent coherence, which typically vanishes in this case; and (iii) the basis-independent coherence between modes B I and B II remains constant regardless of acceleration, exhibiting a freezing phenomenon. These results demonstrate the intrinsic robustness of basis-independent coherence under Unruh effects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
