Abstract
We study the entanglement dynamics of accelerated atoms using the theory of open quantum systems. We consider two atoms travelling along different hyperbolic trajectories with different proper times. We use the generalized master equation to discuss the dynamics of a pair of dipoles interacting with the electromagnetic field. The fundamental role played by proper acceleration in the entanglement harvesting and sudden death phenomenon is discussed. Finally, we discuss how the polarization of the atoms affects our results. For some choices of the polarization's configuration, we no longer observe the entanglement harvesting phenomenon.
