If the two qubits are coupled to a

common bath, entanglement can
also suddently reappear

As a result of continuous measurements on the environment, the
bipartite system remains in a pure state|ψ(t)i at all timest> 0
t∈R 7!|ψ(t)i quantum trajectory

Reason: each measurement disentangle the system and the
environment (by wavepacket reduction).

Averaging over the measurements, one gets the density matrix:

ρ(t) =|ψ(t)ihψ(t)| = dp[ψ]|ψ(t)ihψ(t)| .
