We study quantum state transfer and multipartite entanglement generation in the ensembles of qubits enclosed by a one-dimensional system of coupled optical cavities. Each cavity contains N qubits whose interaction with the quantum field of their respective cavity is governed by the Dicke Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model. An excitation initially seeded in the ensemble at the end of the one-dimensional chain of coupled cavities transfers to the corresponding ensemble of the last cavity with success that depends on the mode-ensemble coupling chi, ensemble-mode detuning S, photon hopping rate A, and size of a given ensemble N. Suitable choices of such parameters enable overcoming the freezing effect induced by the choice of a far-off detuning regime. We identify working points at which three-ensemble Wstates and two-ensemble maximally entangled states emerge in the multipartite entanglement dynamics. This study provides a basis for manipulation of quantum states in a multipartite coupled cavity arrangement that may be useful in understanding very complex systems in the field of quantum information processing.
