  By analytically solving the master equation, we investigate quantum state
transfer, creation and distribution of entanglement in the model of Milburn's
intrinsic decoherence. Our results reveal that the ideal spin channels will be
destroyed by the intrinsic decoherence environment, and the detrimental effects
become severe as the decoherence rate $\gamma$ and the spin chain length $N$
increase. For infinite evolution time, both the state transfer fidelity and the
concurrence of the created and distributed entanglement approach steady state
values, which are independent of the decoherence rate $\gamma$ and decrease as
the spin chain length $N$ increases. Finally, we present two modified spin
chains which may serve as near perfect spin channels for long distance state
transfer even in the presence of intrinsic decoherence environments $\mathcal
{F}{[\rho(t)]}$.
