Figure 1. Sketch of a bipartite system S made up of two subsystems S1 and S2 interacting with the environment ancillae sequentially. In the nth step of the dynamics, S1 interacts with En; S2 interacts with En; and followed by a free evolution of the system S; next, two adjacent environment ancillae En and En+1 interact with each other. Then S1 and S2 shift by one site, and this process is repeated to the (n + 1)th ancilla.
