Abstract
We consider the non-markovian entanglement dynamics of two independent atoms, each off-resonantly coupling with a zero temperature reservoir. For two types of initial entanglement, corresponding to spin correlated and anti-correlated Bell-like states |φ〉 and |ψ〉, we study the dependence of the two-qubit entanglement transfer on both the off-resonant interactions and the cavity pseudomode decay. The speed of the entanglement transfer is related to the choice of the atom detuning from the cavity pseudomode, the cavity pseudomode decay and the relative coupling. Furthermore, compared to the ideal cavities, entanglement transfer and sudden death can not be prevented using off-resonant interactions in the lossy cavities, and the conservation rules are always satisfied in the off-resonant and lossy system.
