Abstract

Distillability sudden death and sudden birth in a two-qutrit system locally subject to amplitude damping channel at a finite temperature have been studied in detail. By using the negativity and the realignment criterion, the results show that certain initially prepared free entangled states under amplitude damping channel at a finite temperature may become bound entangled or separable states in a finite time. Moreover, we have also demonstrated initially prepared bound entangled or separable states may also become distillable entangled states in a finite time.
