Dynamics of three-qubit systems in a noisy environment
NASSER METWALLY, A. Almannaei · Canadian Journal of Physics · 2015
Some properties of three-qubit systems interacting with a noisy environment are discussed. The amount of the survival entanglement is quantified for the Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) and W states. It is shown that the entanglement decay depends on the noise type (correlated or non-correlated), the number of interacting qubits with the environment, and the initial state that passes through this noisy environment. In general, the GHZ state is more fragile than the W state. The phenomenon of entanglement sudden death appears in the GHZ state only for non-correlated noise.
