Resumen:
In a recent work (Borras et al., Phys. Rev. A 79 (2009) 022108), we have determined, for various
decoherence channels, four-qubit initial states exhibiting the most robust possible entanglement.
Here, we explore some geometrical features of the trajectories in state space generated by the
decoherence process, connecting the initially robust pure state with the completely decohered
mixed state obtained at the end of the evolution. We characterize these trajectories by recourse
to the distance between the concomitant time-dependent mixed state and di®erent reference
