Abstract

We review an evolution equation for quantum entanglement for 2 × 2 dimensional quantum systems, the smallest system that can exhibit entanglement, and extend it to higher dimensional systems. Furthermore, we provide statistical evidence for the equation’s applicability to the experimentally relevant domain of weakly mixed states.
