For qubits, we determine the precise entanglement decay rates under different system-environment couplings, including finite temperature effects. For qudits, we show how to obtain upper bounds for the decay rates and also present exact solutions for various classes of states.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-08-16T07:46:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "entanglement dynamics", "decoherence", "precise entanglement decay rates", "finite temperature effects", "arbitrary dimensions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005quant.ph..8114C" } } }
