A study on entanglement sudden death in the open bipartite systems. (English) Zbl 1298.81029

Summary: Examining the relation between concurrence and energy in the open bipartite systems, we give an enlightening discussion about reason which causes the entanglement sudden death. We consider two two-level atoms A and B initially entangled to some extent and coupled individually to two cavities which are initially in their vacuum states. We analyze the dynamics of entanglement and energy for two atoms after tracing over the cavity degrees of freedom. By comparing with concurrence and energy, we obtain a conclusion, i.e., there is a critical value \(U_C=0\), when the energy \(U<U_C=0\), or, \(U'\leq 0\), the concurrence must be zero and the ESD will occur for a period of time. Then, we discuss how non-Markovian effects and detunings influence the critical value. Finally, we point out the impact of initial degree of entanglement on the critical value of the energy.
