In this paper we study the time evolution of the entanglement between two\nremote NV Centers (nitrogen vacancy in diamond) connected by a dual-mode\nnanomechanical resonator with magnetic tips on both sides. Calculating the\nnegativity as a measure for the entanglement, we find that the entanglement\nbetween two spins oscillates with time and can be manipulated by varying the\nparameters of the system. We observed the phe- nomenon of a sudden death and\nthe periodic revivals of entanglement in time. For the study of quantum deco-\nherence, we implement a Lindblad master equation. In spite of its complexity,\nthe model is analytically solvable under fairly reasonable assumptions, and\nshows that the decoherence influences the entanglement, the sudden death, and\nthe revivals in time.\n
