  "abstract": "I explore entanglement dynamics in examples of quantum memories, decoherence free subspaces (DFS) and noiseless subsystems (NS), to determine how a complete loss of entanglement affects the ability of these techniques to protect quantum information. Using negativity and concurrence as entanglement measures, I find that in general there is no correlation between the complete loss of entanglement in the system and the fidelity of the stored quantum information. These results complement previous results in which quantum protocols not explictly based on entanglement exhibit little correlation between ESD and the accuracy of the given protocol.",
