In the study of quantum entanglement, this paper addresses the complexities of characterizing and understanding entanglement dynamics within open systems. The authors explore entanglement measures through the lens of Markovian open systems and quantum trajectories, proposing methods for evaluating entanglement dynamics under decoherence. They present definitions of entangled states, schemes for continuous monitoring of environments, and optimization techniques for experimental setups. This work aims to provide insights into entanglement evolution and suggests an optimal experimental configuration that enhances measurement accuracy.

Conclusion • We propose a characterization of entanglement dynamics from individualexperimental realizations. • We conjecture that there exists an optimal experimental setup which gives the correct measure. • Alternative for step by step optimization. • Mathematical proof for small times in two-partite systems.
Perspectives • Does-it always work (multipartite)? Then why? • Systematic method? Other kinds of unraveling (Q.S.D.)? • Experiments?
