Disentangling by random pulses

Abstract: Here we propose an analytically tractable model of an entangled quantum state subject to random shocks and prove that disentanglement occurs asymptotically. The system consists of two identical, two level state systems, say two entangled qubits or two entangled two state molecules, and the heat bath consists of the occurrence of state switching shocks, which happen at a Poisson rate. The time dependence of such system can be explicitly obtained and the decay rate to disentanglement happens to be twice the frequency of the occurrence of shocks.
