Abstract

We address propagation and entanglement of Gaussian states in optical media characterised by nontrivial spectral densities. In particular, we consider environments with a finite bandwidth J(ω) = J[ θ(ω- Ω) - θ(ω- Ω - δ) ] , and show that in the low temperature regime T≪ Ω - 1: (i) secular terms in the master equation may be neglected; (ii) attenuation (damping) is strongly suppressed; (iii) the overall diffusion process may be described as a Gaussian noise channel with variance depending only on the bandwidth. We find several regimes where propagation is not much detrimental and entanglement may be protected form decoherence.
