Entanglement differentiation service via Hamiltonian dynamics in a multiuser environment. (a) Protocol 1. Each user gives a different amount of entanglement E(Ui: Bi) ≤ 1 at a global period of time Tπ. The differentiation is made in the amount of entanglement (relative entropy of entanglement) by applying the local unitaries for time \({T}_{{U}_{i}}\) for Ui, i = 1, …, K. User U5 has the highest priority thus the user gets a maximally entangled system, user U3 is the lowest priority user with and associated with a low amount of entanglement. (b) Protocol 2. All users are assigned with a maximally entangled system, E(Ui: Bi) = 1, and the differentiation is made in the time domain. For users Ui, Bi, i = 1, …, K a particular period of time Tπ(Ui: Bi) is assigned, and each local unitary is applied for \({T}_{{U}_{i}}(\pi /{\rm{4}})={T}_{\pi }({U}_{i}:{B}_{i})/{\rm{4}}\) time t o achieve maximally entangled states between the parties. User U5 has the highest priority thus the user associated with the shortest time period, user U3 is the lowest priority user with a long time period for the generation of a maximally entangled system.
