  Entanglement is a holistic property of multipartite quantum systems, which is
accompanied by the establishment of nonclassical correlations between
subsystems. Most entanglement mechanisms can be described by a coherent
interaction Hamiltonian, and entanglement develops over time. In other words,
the generation of entanglement has a time arrow. Dissipative structure theory
directs the evolving time arrow of a non-equilibrium system. By dissipating
energy to the environment, the system establishes order out of randomness. This
is also referred to as self-organization. Here, we explore a new mechanism to
create entanglement, utilizing the wisdom of dissipative structure theory in
quantum systems. The entanglement between subsystems can emerge via the
dissipation-structured correlation. This method requires a non-equilibrium
initial state and cooperative dissipation, which can be implemented in a
variety of waveguide-coupled quantum systems.
