Abstract
Entanglement of formation is a measure that has a clear physically motivated definition, namely, it provides a lower bound over all pure-state entanglement decompositions required to create a given state. We investigate the open system dynamics of entanglement of formation of a two-mode Gaussian state interacting with a common bosonic environment. In the framework of the theory based on completely positive dynamical semigroups, the open system dynamics leads to a master equation in Lindblad form, which preserves the positivity and the Gaussian form of an initially Gaussian state at all times. For an initially separable state we witness the generation of entanglement, and its preservation in the limit of asymptotic times.
