  We investigate the conditions to entangle two qubits interacting with local
environments driven by a continuous-variable correlated field. We find the
conditions to transfer the entanglement from the driving field to the qubits
both in dynamical and steady-state cases. We see how the quantum correlations
initially present in the driving field play a critical role in the
entanglement-transfer process. The system we treat is general enough to be
adapted to different physical setups.
