Dynamics of qubit entanglement in three-qubit Jaynes–Cummings model for biseparable intial states by Alexander R. Bagrov, Eugene K. Bashkirov

“…To operate a quantum computer, a set of universal gates must be implemented, such as a two-cubit gate of the controlled negation type plus one-cubit spins. As a universal alternative, three-cubic-bit gates may be used. In this regard, it seems very relevant to investigate the dynamics of three-qubit systems in microwave resonators, in particular to study the most efficient schemes for generating, controlling, and monitoring entangled qubit states. …”
