Eventually entanglement breaking divisible quantum dynamics

Abstract

Abstract It is shown that a large class of quantum dynamical maps on complex matrix algebras governed by time-local Master Equations tend to become entanglement breaking in the course of time. Such situation seems to be generic for quantum evolution and in particular, completely positive dynamical semigroups with a unique faithful stationary state enjoy this property. Inspired by this observation, we propose a new concept of eventually entanglement breaking divisible (eEB-divisible) dynamics. A dynamical map is eEB-divisible if any propagator becomes entanglement breaking in finite time. It turns out that eEB-divisibility is quite general and holds for a large class of quantum evolutions.
