Here, the initial quantum correlations of the two qutrits are characterized by the bound entanglement. In order to show the universality of the role of environment on bound entanglement, both bosonic and spin environments are considered. We found that the bound entanglement displays collapses and revivals, and it can be stable against small temperature and time change. The thermal fluctuation effects on bound entanglement are also considered.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-01-15T02:09:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "time evolution", "decoherence", "bound entanglement displays collapses", "initial quantum correlations", "quantum open system" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
