We investigate entanglement reciprocation between atomic qubits and cavity fields initially in a thermal state. We show that the entanglement between the atomic qubits can be fully transferred to the mixed fields through displacement operation and resonant atom-cavity interaction. This is a rare example, in which quantum systems in mixed states can be used as the memory for entanglement. The entanglement can be retrieved by another atomic pair. Apart from fundamental interest, the results are useful for implementation of quantum networking with atom-field interface in the microwave regime.

We have investigated the influence of dipole-dipole interaction and initial atomic coherence on atomic entanglement dynamics of two qubits. We have considered a model, in which only one atom couples to a quantum electromagnetic field in a cavity, since one of them can move around the cavity. We have shown that the entanglement arises for all pure atomic state even when both atoms are initially in the excited states. We have also derived that degree of entanglement is enhanced in the presence of the atomic coherence.
