Description

The dynamics of distillability entanglement between qutrit—qutrit systems interacting with a thermal reservoir is investigated in this paper. We discovered an interesting phenomenon that under a thermal reservoir certain initially prepared free-entangled states become bound-entangled states in a finite time, which is called distillability sudden death (DSD). We use a realignment criterion to measure the nine-dimensional density matrix of the entanglement. Moreover, we analyze some other parameters to investigate the effects to the systems. Explanations are then given. (electromagnetism, optics, acoustics, heat transfer, classical mechanics, and fluid dynamics)
