摘要

In this paper, we propose a scheme for generating multipartite entanglement of distant four-level atoms separately trapped in individual cavities, each of which is coupled to a non-Markovian reservoir. The entanglement of atoms is generated by measuring the photons leaking from cavities. In non-Markovian environments, we derive dynamical evolution of the entanglement and obtain the condition of generating the long-living multipartite maximally entangled state. When the condition is not satisfied, by introducing a time-varying coupling strength, the maximal multipartite entangled state can also be generated.
