Schrodinger-cat states and entanglement in cavity QED with trapped ions

F. L. Semião, A. Vidiella-Barranco

Abstract

We propose a scheme to generate a particular kind of tripartite entangled states using a single two-level trapped ion coupled to a quantized monomode electromagnetic field within an optical cavity. The resulting state involves motional Schr\\"odinger-cat states of the trapped ion, its internal electronic states, and Fock states of the cavity field. By means of a measurement of the internal state of the ion, it is also possible to generate either entangled bipartite states involving light and motion or single motional Schr\\"odinger-cat states. Our proposal is based on a previously introduced intensity dependent Hamiltonian [Phys. Rev. A 66, 063403 (2002)] for a trapped ion in a cavity.

Scheme for Implementing Quantum State Transfer in Cavity QED with Trapped Ion

Shao-Hua Xiang, Zheng Qing-yun

We propose a physical scheme for implementing quantum state transfer utilizing the interaction of a two-level trapped ion with a quantum monomode electromagnetic field within an optical cavity.The results show that by controlling the frequency of cavity field to be resonant with the carrier,quantum information can be transferred between cavity field and the internal state of the ion without the need for the selected measurement of the qubits.Quantum information may also be transmitted from the vibrational state of the ion into cavity mode,from the internal state of the ion into its vibration state, and from a single-qubit state into an entangled bipartite state by means of the measurement on the qubits when we tune the light field to the first blue sideband.A practical model of a quantum network is proposed.Finally,we analyze the experimental feasibility of the present scheme.

Entanglement between motional states of a single trapped ion and light

F. L. Semião, A. Vidiella-Barranco, José Antonio Roversi

We propose a generation method of Bell-type states involving light and the vibrational motion of a single trapped ion. The trap itself is supposed to be placed inside a high-$Q$ cavity sustaining a single mode, quantized electromagnetic field. Entangled light-motional states may be readily generated if a conditional measurement of the ion's internal electronic state is made after an appropriate interaction time and a suitable preparation of the initial state. We show that all four Bell states may be generated using different motional sidebands (either blue or red), as well as adequate ionic relative phases.

Preparation of hybrid entangled states and entangled coherent states for a single trapped ion in a cavity

Jie‐Qiao Liao, Yu Guo, Hao‐Sheng Zeng +1 more

In this paper, we study generation of entangled states in a system which consists of a single trapped ion in a cavity. We obtain a cross-Kerr-like interaction between the cavity field (photons) and the centre-of-mass motion (phonons) of the trapped ion in the Lamb–Dicke and large detuning regime. Based on this cross-Kerr-like interaction, we create hybrid entangled states between the phonon mode and the ionic internal states, and between the cavity field and ionic internal states, respectively. We also show that it is possible to prepare entangled coherent states between the cavity field and the phonon mode. We explicitly obtain an entangled state between two pairs of Schrödinger-cat states.

Generation of Two-Mode Nonclassical States via Dispersive Interaction in Trapped-Ion Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics

Wen‐Xing Yang, Zhiming Zhan, Jiahua Li

We propose a simple method to generate a practical SU(2)-Schrödinger-cat state of a single trapped-ion vibration mode and the light field state, using the method based on a quantum system, which is composed of the one-dimensional trapped-ion motion and a single cavity field mode. Moreover, we discuss the methods proposed so far for the generation two-mode maximal quantum entangled state. The detection of such a state is also briefly discussed.
