Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steerability of quantum states is a property that is different from entanglement and Bell nonlocality. We describe the time evolution of a recently introduced measure that quantifies steerability for arbitrary bipartite Gaussian states [1] in a system consisting of two bosonic modes embedded in a common thermal environment.
We work in the framework of the theory of open systems. If the initial state of the subsystem is taken of Gaussian form, then the evolution under completely positive quantum dynamical semigroups assures the preservation in time of the Gaussian form of the state [2].
We study Gaussian quantum steering in terms of the covariance matrix under the influence of noise and dissipation and find that the thermal noise introduced by the environment destroys the steerability between the two parts [3].
We make a comparison with other quantum correlations for the same system, and show that, unlike Gaussian quantum discord, which is decreasing asymptotically in time, the Gaussian quantum steerability suffers a sudden death behaviour, like quantum entanglement.
