Using a computable entanglement monotone for multipartite systems, we investigate the as yet unexplored aspects of a cavity-reservoir system of qubits. For one specific initial state, we observe a sudden transition in the dynamics of genuine entanglement for the four qubits. This sudden change occurs only during a time window where neither cavity-cavity qubits nor reservoir-reservoir qubits are entangled. We show that this sudden change in dynamics of this specific state is extremely sensitive to white noise.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-06-22T21:25:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.67.Mn", "03.65.Yz", "03.65.Ud" ], "keywords": [ "genuine multipartite entanglement", "cavity-reservoir qubits", "specific initial state", "sudden change occurs", "computable entanglement monotone" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevA.90.042330", "journal": "Physical Review A", "year": 2014, "month": "Oct", "volume": 90, "number": 4, "pages": "042330" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014PhRvA..90d2330A" } } }
