Abstract

In contrast to the case of the Markovian environment, we find some revivals of the genuine N particle entanglement in the final state of the multiparticle entanglement swapping in the non-Markovian environment. As the number N of the relevant particles gets larger, the number of revivals of the genuine N particle entanglement becomes smaller. As the environment becomes more non-Markovian, the number of revivals of the genuine N particle entanglement gets larger.
