Initially unentangled qubits which do not interact which each other can become entangled by interacting with a common heat bath [1]. But with more than two qubits, there exist several inequivalent types of entanglement [2]. Therefore it is an important question which types of entanglement can be generated. While exactly determining and quantifying the entanglement for mixed states of more than two qubits is an unsolved problem, recent advancements [3] based on the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger symmetry [4] allow to determine a good lower bound for the entanglement. By using those methods we show that for three qubits coupled to the same heat bath indeed all types of entanglement can be generated for almost all separable initial states.
