Sudden death of entanglement in a thermal three-qubit Tavis-Cummings model

Abstract

In this article, we consider the entanglement between three identical qubits resonantly interacting with a thermal field of an Q-infinite resonator. We derived the exact solution of the evolution equation for density matrix of the considered system. On it basis we calculate the negativity as a criteria of entanglement between pairs of qubits for biseparable and entangled W-type states of qubits. The results showed that for considered initial qubits states the effect of the entanglement sudden death occurs for all values of the average number of thermal photons.
