Optimizing Unraveling • The master equation is invariant up to linear & unitary transform of the jump operators: With unitary U • The average concurrence over trajectories is not invariant → it can be optimized

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?
