Spin-star environment assisted entanglement generation in weakly coupled bipartite systems
Gen-Fang Wang, Jian-Mei Lü, Lincheng Wang · Chinese Physics B · 2014
We study the entanglement evolution in a weakly coupled bipartite system with a large energy level difference under the influence of spin-star environments. The subsystems can be coupled to a pure state or a thermal equilibrium state spin-star environment. Our results show that, in the case of the coupling strength being less than the energy level difference of the subsystems (weakly coupled), the spin-star environment can always be used to assist the entanglement generation of the bipartite system.
