    "abstract": "I show that entanglement between two qubits can be generated if the two\nqubits interact with a common heat bath in thermal equilibrium, but do not\ninteract directly with each other. In most situations the entanglement is\ncreated for a very short time after the interaction with the heat bath is\nswitched on, but depending on system, coupling, and heat bath, the entanglement\nmay persist for arbitrarily long times. This mechanism sheds new light on the\ncreation of entanglement. A particular example of two quantum dots in a closed\ncavity is discussed, where the heat bath is given by the blackbody radiation.",
