• Abstract: The controlled generation of quantum entanglement from separable states remains a central challenge in quantum information science. Here, we investigate entanglement generation using two related control paradigms: coherent path superposition of local unitary operations and stochastic implementations of Pauli channels under coherent control. We show that entangled states belonging to the Bell, GHZ and W classes, can be deterministically generated from fully separable inputs by coherently superposing alternative sets of local unitary transformations. Conditions on the local operators for entanglement generation are derived, and the resulting states are shown to be locally unitary equivalent to standard multipartite entangled states. We further extend the analysis to noisy scenarios, where separable mixed states evolve through pairs of Pauli channels arranged in path-superposition and indefinite causal order configurations. Closed-form expressions for the output states are obtained, and entanglement is quantified using concurrence. By exploring representative channel families across their parameter space, we identify regimes where stochastic entanglement emerges, determine the associated success probabilities, and characterize trade-offs between entanglement and purity.
