Entanglement dynamics of three atoms under quantum-jump-based feedback control

We investigate entanglement dynamics of three driven atoms off-resonantly coupled with a single-mode cavity under quantum-jump-based feedback control. The results demonstrate that the tripartite entanglement can be effectively enhanced and the steady W state and asymmetric W states can be obtained by setting the Rabi frequencies of classical fields and choosing the local quantum feedback control. Furthermore, the tripartite decoherence-free entangled states are found when the atoms are driven by classical fields with appropriate Rabi frequencies. The asymmetric W states and W state can be converted into each other via feedback control. In theory, the multiqubit W state can be generated and stabilized by our approach.
