In this article, we investigate how various parameters such as the nanoribbon length, temperature, external magnetic field, and Coulomb interactions affect fundamental quantum correlations in zigzag graphene nanoribbons. Using an effective Heisenberg model derived from the Hubbard Hamiltonian, we analyze three essential quantifiers: thermal entanglement, correlated quantum coherence, and local quantum uncertainty. Our results reveal that increasing the ribbon length leads to an exponential reduction of the exchange interaction between edge‐localized electronic states, which causes a gradual decrease of thermal entanglement. Both temperature and Coulomb repulsion significantly reduce the concurrence, while quantum coherence and local quantum uncertainty exhibit greater robustness, maintaining nonclassical correlations even at elevated temperatures. Furthermore, the application of an external magnetic field strongly influences these quantum correlations and enhances their sensitivity to thermal and geometric effects. These findings provide a comprehensive understanding of how structural and environmental parameters govern quantum correlations in graphene‐based nanostructures, offering valuable insights for the design of stable platforms for quantum information processing and spintronic applications.
