Entanglement sudden death (ESD), the complete loss of entanglement in finite time, is demonstrated to occur in a class of bipartite states of qudit pairs of any finite dimension d>2, when prepared in so-called “isotropic states” and subject to multilocal dephasing noise alone. This extends previous results for qubit pairs [ T. Yu and J. H. Eberly Phys. Rev. Lett. 97 140403 (2006)] to all qudit pairs with d>2.
