Restoring genuine tripartite entanglement under local amplitude damping

Abstract

We investigate the possibility to restore genuine tripartite entanglement under local amplitude damping. We show that it is possible to protect genuine entanglement using CNOT and Hadamard gates. We analyze several ordering of such recovery operations. We find that for recovery operations applied after exposing qubits to decoherence, there is no enhancement in lifetime of genuine entanglement. Actual retrieval of entanglement is only possible when reversal scheme is applied before and after the decoherence process. We find that retrieval of entanglement for mixture of $|\widetilde{W}\rangle$ state with white noise is more evident than the respective mixture of $|W\rangle$ state. We also find the retrieval of entanglement for similar mixture of $|GHZ\rangle$ state as well.
