Generation of field mediated three qubit entangled state shared by Alice   and Bob
  A scheme to generate shared tripartite entangled states, with two-trapped atoms in a cavity held by Alice (qubits A1 and A2) entangled to a single trapped atom in a remote lab owned by Bob (B), is proposed. The entanglement is generated through interaction of trapped atoms with two mode squeezed light shared by the two cavities. The proposed scheme is an extension of the proposal of ref. [W. Son, M. S. Kim, J. Lee, and D. Ahn, J. Mod. Opt. 49, 1739 (2002)], where the possibility of entangling two remote qubits using a bipartite continuous variable state was examined. While the global negativity detects the free entanglement of the three atom mixed state, the bound entanglement is detected by the negativity calculated from pure state decomposition of the state operator. The partial negativities calculated by selective partial transposition of the three atom mixed state detect the pairwise entanglement of qubit pairs A1B, A2B, and A1A2. The entanglement of three atoms is found to be W-like, no GHZ like quantum correlations being generated.
