Unexpected Robustness of Multipartite Entanglement against Sudden Death from Spontaneous Emission
arXiv:2210.01854 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.5.L032015
Abstract
Entanglement is known to decay even in isolated systems, an effect attributed to spontaneous emission. This fragility of entanglement can be exacerbated by entanglement sudden death (ESD), where entanglement drops to zero abruptly within a finite time. It is natural to assume that multipartite entanglement is more vulnerable to ESD, as it involves more parties experiencing spontaneous emission. In this work, we challenge this assumption and present a contrasting conclusion, asserting that multipartite entanglement demonstrates increased robustness against ESD from spontaneous emission.
