The entanglement dynamics of the bipartite quantum system: toward entanglement sudden death

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of bipartite quantum system between two qubits with the dissipative environment. We begin with the standard Markovian master equation in the Lindblad form and the initial state which is prepared in the extended Werner-like state: $ρ^Φ_{AB}(0)$. We examine the conditions for entanglement sudden death (ESD) and calculate the corresponding ESD time by the Wootters' concurrence. We observe that ESD is determined by the parameters like the mean occupation number of the environment $N$, amount of initial entanglement $α$, and the purity $r$. For N=0, we get the analytical expression of both ESD condition and ESD time. For $N>0$ we give a theoretical analysis that ESD always occurs, and simulate the concurrence as a function of $γ_0t$ and one of the parameters $N, α$, and $r$.
