Evolution of twin-beam in active optical media
  We study the evolution of twin-beam propagating inside active media that may be used to establish a continuous variable entangled channel between two distant users. In particular, we analyze how entanglement is degraded during propagation, and determine a threshold value for the interaction time, above which the state become separable, and thus useless for entanglement based manipulations. We explicitly calculate the fidelity for coherent state teleportation and show that it is larger than one half for the whole range of parameters preserving entanglemenent.
