Vacuum-induced stationary entanglement in radiatively coupled three-level atoms
Łukasz Derkacz, Lech Jakóbczyk · Journal of Physics A Mathematical and Theoretical · 2008
We consider a pair of three-level atoms interacting with a common vacuum and analyse the process of entanglement production due to spontaneous emission. We show that in the case of closely separated atoms collective damping can generate robust entanglement of the asymptotic states.
