Nested entangled states for distributed quantum channels
C. Di Franco, M. Paternostro, and M. S. Kim

We find a coupling-strength configuration for a linear chain of $N$ spins which gives rise to simultaneous multiple Bell states. We suggest a way such an interesting entanglement pattern can be used in order to distribute maximally entangled channels to remote locations and generate multipartite entanglement with a minimum-control approach. Our proposal thus provides a way to achieve the core-resources in distributed information processing. The schemes we describe can be efficiently tested in chains of coupled cavities interacting with three-level atoms.
