Entanglement transfer between atoms in two distant cavities via an optical fibre

This paper presents a treatment of the entanglement transfer between atoms in two distant cavities coupled by an optical fibre.If the atoms resonantly and collectively interact with the local single-mode cavity fields and the dipole– dipole interaction between the atoms is neglected,then it shows that a complete transfer of entanglement from one pair of atoms to another can be deterministically realized.Furthermore,it also investigates the effects of dipole–dipole interaction on entanglement transfer on the condition that the interaction between the atoms and the cavity is much weaker than the coupling between the cavity and the fibre.
