Instead of tracing out reservoir modes to describe the dynamics using the master equation approach, we consider explicitly the dynamics of the reservoirs. In this situation, we show that the entanglement is completely transferred from atoms to reservoirs. Although the cavities mediate this entanglement transfer, we show that under certain conditions, no entanglement is found in cavities throughout the dynamics. Considering the entanglement dynamics of interacting and non-interacting bipartite subsystems, we found time windows where the entanglement can only flow through interacting subsystems, depending on the system parameters.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-07-12T17:47:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.65.Yz", "03.65.Ud", "03.67.Mn" ], "keywords": [ "entanglement transfer", "multipartite dissipative systems", "master equation approach", "reservoir modes", "initially correlated three-level atoms" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review A", "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevA.81.062114", "year": 2010, "month": "Jun", "volume": 81, "number": 6, "pages": "062114" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010PhRvA..81f2114L" } } }
