Entanglement between two Rydberg atoms induced by a thermal field
T. S Mastyugina, Eugene K. Bashkirov
Abstract
We investigated two Rydberg atoms successively passing a vacuum or a thermal cavity taking into account the detuning. The atoms was assumed to be initially prepared in the Bell types entangled atomic states. Calculating the negativity we investigated the dynamics of atom-atom entanglement both for the vacuum and the thermal field. The special features of negativity behavior have been studied comprehensively foe small and large values of detunings. For thermal field and small detunings we established the effect of sudden death and birth of entanglement.
