Dynamics of quantum entanglement shared between system spins which are connected to thermal equilibrium baths is studied. Central spin system comprises of the entangled spins, and is connected to baths and one of the bath has strong intra-environmental coupling. The dynamics between the system and baths are studied and inferred that that intra-envirnomental coupling guards against the system from the effects of the spin baths.

Motivated by recent experimental study on coherent dynamics transfer in three interacting atoms or electron spins cite{Barredo:2015,Rosenfeld:2018}, here we study entanglement entropy transfer in three interacting qubits. We analytically calculate time evolutions of wave function, density matrix and entanglement of the system. We find that initially entangled two qubits may alternatively transfer their entanglement entropy to other two qubit pairs. So that dynamical evolution of three interacting qubits may produce a genuine three-partite entangled state through entanglement entropy transfers. In particular, different pairwise interactions of the three qubits endow symmetric and asymmetric evolutions of the entanglement transfer, characterized by the quantum mutual information and concurence. Finally, we discuss an experimental proposal of three Rydberg atoms for testing the entanglement dynamics transfer of this kind.
We analyze the dynamics of entanglement in a two-qubit system interacting with an initially squeezed thermal environment via a quantum nondemolition system-reservoir interaction, with the system and reservoir assumed to be initially separable. We compare and contrast the decoherence of the two-qubit system in the case where the qubits are mutually close-by (`collective regime) or distant (`localized regime) with respect to the spatial variation of the environment. Sudden death of entanglement (as quantified by concurrence) is shown to occur in the localized case rather than in the collective case, where entanglement tends to `ring down. A consequence of the QND character of the interaction is that the time-evolved fidelity of a Bell state never falls below $1/sqrt{2}$, a fact that is useful for quantum communication applications like a quantum repeater. Using a novel quantification of mixed state entanglement, we show that there are noise regimes where even though entanglement vanishes, the state is still available for applications like NMR quantum computation, because of the presence of a pseudo-pure component.
Quantum technologies use entanglement to outperform classical technologies, and often employ strong cooling and isolation to protect entangled entities from decoherence by random interactions. Here we show that the opposite strategy - promoting random interactions - can help generate and preserve entanglement. We use optical quantum non-demolition measurement to produce entanglement in a hot alkali vapor, in a regime dominated by random spin-exchange collisions. We use Bayesian statistics and spin-squeezing inequalities to show that at least $1.52(4)times 10^{13}$ of the $5.32(12) times 10^{13}$ participating atoms enter into singlet-type entangled states, which persist for tens of spin-thermalization times and span thousands of times the nearest-neighbor distance. The results show that high temperatures and strong random interactions need not destroy many-body quantum coherence, that collective measurement can produce very complex entangled states, and that the hot, strongly-interacting media now in use for extreme atomic sensing are well suited for sensing beyond the standard quantum limit.
One of the greatest challenges in quantum information processing is the coherent control over quantum systems with an ever increasing number of particles. Within this endeavor, the harnessing of many-body entanglement against the effects of the environment is a pressing issue. Besides being an important concept from a fundamental standpoint, entanglement is recognized as a crucial resource for performance enhancements over classical methods. Understanding and controlling many-body entanglement in open systems may have implications in quantum computing, quantum simulations, secure quantum communication, quantum metrology, our understanding of the quantum-to-classical transition, and other important questions of quantum foundations. Here we present an overview of recent theoretical and experimental efforts to underpin the dynamics of entanglement in open quantum systems. Entanglement is taken as a dynamic quantity, and we survey how it evolves due to the interaction of the entangled system with its surroundings. We analyze several scenarios, corresponding to different families of states and environments, which render a diversity of dynamical behaviors. Contrary to single-particle quantities, that typically vanish only asymptotically in time, entanglement may disappear at a finite time. Moreover, important classes of entanglement show an exponential decay with the system size when subject to local noise, posing yet another threat to the already challenging scaling of quantum technologies. Results for the local and global noise cases are summarized. Robustness-enhancement techniques, scaling laws, statistical and geometrical aspects of multipartite-entanglement decay are also reviewed; all in order to give a broad picture of entanglement dynamics in open quantum systems addressed to both theorists and experimentalists inside and outside the field of quantum information.
The classical Second Law of Thermodynamics demands that an isolated system evolves with a non-diminishing entropy. This holds as well in quantum mechanics if the evolution of the energy-isolated system can be described by a unital quantum channel. At the same time, the entropy of a system evolving via a non-unital channel can, in principle, decrease. Here, we analyze the behavior of the entropy in the context of the H-theorem. As exemplary phenomena, we discuss the action of a Maxwell demon (MD) operating a qubit and the processes of heating and cooling in a two-qubit system. We further discuss how small initial correlations between a quantum system and a reservoir affect the increase in the entropy under the evolution of the quantum system.
