摘要

We consider an open quantum system consisting of four atoms which are placed in a damped cavity. Through a dissipative dynamics process, a W state can be converted into a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state with deterministic probability. In addition, the interaction time need not be controlled strictly in the dynamics process. The protocol may open up a promising perspective for quantum state conversion between different classes of entanglement and cavity quantum electrodynamics systems.
