How do I plot the decoherence of an open system from its density matrix?

If I have a two qubit state interacting with an environment that will decohere it, how do I model the decoherence from the density matrix? For example, if I start with some state $\Psi(0)=|0>_1|1>_2\o …

What are the range of values of the negativity in quantum mechanics?

The negativity of a quantum state, given by $N(\rho)=\frac{||\rho^{\Gamma_A}||-1}{2}$ where $\rho^{\Gamma_A}$ is the partial transpose with respect to subsystem $A$ of the density matrix of a quantu …

How to measure a qubit state?

I'm trying to work out how to do a non-demolition measurement on a qubit using an ancilla photon. I start with an entangled electron and nucleus in the state $$ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(\alpha|\uparrow\Dow …
