Generation of Multicomponent Motional Coherent and Squeezed Coherent States of N Trapped Ions by a Dispersive Interaction

Abstract

Following the recent proposal by Solano E et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 87 (2001) 060402] a procedure is proposed to generate arbitrary discrete multicomponent motional coherent and squeezed coherent states of N trapped ions by additionally using a dispersive bichromatic interaction in a long-living and fast way. In this procedure, two lasers in the Raman configuration are tuned quasiresonant and resonant with N two-level ions under different conditions, respectively. Furthermore, we show how the idea can be used for the generation of two-mode SU(2) Schrödinger cat states for the vibrational motion of a single ion trapped in a two-dimensional harmonic potential.

Generation of Schrödinger cats and entangled coherent states in the motion of a trapped ionby a dispersive interaction

Christopher C. Gerry

A proposal for realizing one- and two-mode degenerate Raman coupled models, of the type proposed by Knight [Phys. Scr. T 12, 51 (1986)] in the context of quantum optics, for the motion of a trapped two-level ion, is presented. The interaction has a dispersive effect on the vibrational motion of the ion. For the one-mode case, an initial vibrational coherent state evolves into superpositions of coherent states (Schr\"odinger-cat states) correlated with the internal states of the ion. In the two-mode case, with initial coherent states in each mode, entanglements of coherent states between the modes correlated with the internal ionic states are obtained. Detection of such states is briefly discussed.

Preparation of multicomponent motional coherent and squeezed coherent states of a trapped ion

Jiahua Li, Wen‐Xing Yang, Peng Ju-Cun

In this paper, we present a scheme for preparation of multicomponent motional coherent and squeezed coherent states of the quantized centre of mass of an ion trapped in a one-dimensional harmonic potential and driven by two travelling-wave laser beams tuned to the nth red and blue vibrational sidebands, respectively. In addition, our scheme also provides experimental possibility for quantum state engineering.

Preparation of Motional Mesoscopic Superpositions of Squeezed Coherent States of N Trapped Ions

Wen‐Xing Yang, Xiao-Tao Xie, Jiahua Li +1 more

A scheme is proposed to generate arbitrary, discrete superpostions of squeezed coherent states of the squeezed center of mass of N trapped ions along a straight line in phase space. The scheme is based on a resonant bichromatic excitation of each trapped ion that generates displacement and squeezing in the vibrational motion conditioned to each internal state. In this paper, we also show that such a method can be used for the engineering of motional quantum states.

Preparation of superpositions of SU(2) coherent states of the motion of a trapped ion.

Shi‐Biao Zheng

A scheme is presented for the generation of superpositions of two two-mode SU(2) coherent states of the motion for a trapped ion. In the scheme an ion is trapped in a two-dimensional isotropic harmonic potential and driven by two resonant laser beams. Under certain conditions, the motional two-mode SU(2) cat state can be generated after a conditional measurement on the internal state following the ion-laser interaction.
