The influences of dipole--dipole interaction and detuning on the sudden death of entanglement between two atoms in the Tavis--Cummings model

The influences of dipole--dipole interaction and detuning on the entanglement between two atoms with different initial tripartite entangled W-like states in the Tavis--Cummings model have been investigated by means of Wootters' concurrence, respectively. The results show that the entanglement between the two atoms can be enhanced via appropriately tuning the strength of dipole--dipole interaction of two atoms or the detunings between atom and cavity, and the so-called sudden death effect can be weakened simultaneously.
