The implementation of schemes for quantum teleportation requires the quantification of entanglement for states that, in general, are mixed due to the interaction with the environment. We study the entanglement dynamics of three-qubit GHZ and W states under the influence of the environment. As noise models for the influence of the environment we use σz, σx and σy Pauli as well as the depolarizing channel [1]. The entanglement of the states is quantified with the lower bound to the three-qubit concurrence [2]. We show that the GHZ state preserves more entanglement than the W state in transmission through σx and σy Pauli and the depolarizing channels. For σz Pauli channel, in contrast, the W state preserves more entanglement than the GHZ state.
