We show that the physics underlying the dynamical Casimir effect may generate
multipartite quantum correlations. To achieve it, we propose a circuit quantum
electrodynamics (cQED) scenario involving superconducting quantum interference
devices (SQUIDs), cavities, and superconducting qubits, also called artificial
atoms. Our results predict the generation of highly entangled states for two
and three superconducting qubits in different geometric configurations with
realistic parameters. This proposal paves the way for a scalable method of
multipartite entanglement generation in cavity networks through dynamical
Casimir physics.Comment: Improved version and references added. Accepted for publication in
