Abstract
We study the dynamics of genuine multipartite entanglement under non-Markovian noise. Using a computable entanglement monotone for multipartite systems, we investigate a system of three qubits each of which is individually exposed to classical Ornstein–Uhlenbeck noise. We found that the W state mixed with the maximally mixed state is the most fragile state, whereas a similar mixture of GHZ state exhibits robust behaviour. We compare dynamics of these states with dynamics of similar mixtures of random states and weighted graph states. We also discuss the limiting cases.
