A Simple Method to Generate Several Motional States in Two-Trapped Ions System

Abstract
We propose a method to create several motional states simultaneously in two-trapped ions. It relies on two standing wave lasers illuminating homogeneously both ions. By tuning the frequencies of the two standing waves to excite resonantly different sidebands of center-of-mass or breathing mode, several motional states, such as one- or two-mode squeezed states and their superpositions, and the beam-splitter output states, are generated.
