Local two-qubit entanglement-annihilating channels

Abstract

We address the problem of the robustness of entanglement of bipartite systems (qubits) interacting with dynamically independent environments. In particular, we focus on characterization of so-called local entanglement-annihilating two-qubit channels, which set the maximum permissible noise level allowing to perform entanglement-enabled experiments. The differences, but also subtle relations between entanglement-breaking and local entanglement-annihilating channels are emphasized. A detailed characterization of latter ones is provided for a variety of channels including depolarizing, unital, (generalized) amplitude-damping, and extremal channels. We consider also the convexity structure of local entanglement-annihilating qubit channels and introduce a concept of entanglement-annihilation duality.
