Influence of intrinsic decoherence on tripartite entanglement and   bipartite fidelity of polar molecules in pendular states
  An array of ultracold polar molecules trapped in an external electric field is regarded as a promising carrier of quantum information. Under the action of this field, molecules are compelled to undergo pendular oscillations by the Stark effect. Particular attention has been paid to the influence of intrinsic decoherence on the model of linear polar molecular pendular states, thereby we evaluate the tripartite entanglement with negativity, as well as fidelity of bipartite quantum systems for input and output signals using electric dipole moments of polar molecules as qubits. According to this study, we consider three typical initial states for both systems respectively, and investigate the temporal evolution with variable values of the external field intensity, the intrinsic decoherence factor and the dipole-dipole interaction. Thus we demonstrate the sound selection of these three main parameters to obtain the best entanglement degree and fidelity.
