Sudden death of distillability in a two-qutrit anisotropic Heisenberg spin model

Abstract

Sudden death of distillability for a two-qutrit anisotropic Heisenberg XX chain with Dzyaloshinskii---Moriya (DM) interaction in an inhomogeneous magnetic field is studied in detail. By using the negativity and realignment criterion, we show that certain initial prepared free entangled states may become bound entangled or separable states in a finite time. Moreover, the influences of the isotropic bilinear interaction parameter, the external magnetic field strength, the DM interaction parameter, as well as the intrinsic decoherence parameter on the possibility of distillability sudden death (DSD) have been studied. The results show, controlling the isotropic bilinear interaction parameter, the external magnetic field strength, the DM interaction parameter, as well as the intrinsic decoherence parameter, can accelerate the possibility of DSD in the present model.
