Abstract: | In this paper, we consider the situation that four identical two-level atoms are separately trapped in separated tetrahedral structure single-mode optical cavities, which are placed at the vertices of a tetrahedron and are coupled by four fibres. Each atom resonantly interacts with cavity via a one-photon hopping. The evolution of the state vector of the system is given by solving the Schrödinger equation when the total excitation number of the system equals one. Negativity is adopted to quantify the degree of entanglement between two subsystems. The entanglement dynamics between atoms and between cavities is studied. The influences of atom-cavity coupling coefficient on the entanglement between atoms and that between cavities are discussed. The results obtained using the numerical method show that the atom–atom entanglement and the cavity–cavity entanglement are all strengthened with increase of atom-cavity coupling coefficient. |
