Abstract
We analyze the dynamics of gravity-induced entanglement for N massive particles. Considering a linear configuration of these particles, we investigate the entanglement between a specific pair of particles under the influence of the gravitational interaction between the massive particles. As the particle number increases, the specific particle pair decoheres more easily due to the gravitational interaction with other particles. The time scale of the gravity-induced decoherence is found analytically. We also discuss the entanglement dynamics of initially entangled particles, which exemplify the monogamy of gravity-induced entanglement.
