Abstract

We study how superposition of coherent states of the center of mass motion of a trapped ion on a truncated von Neuman lattice may be produced. This scheme has the advantage of using only one laser and few laser operations on the ion, that makes its implementation easier.

Quantum-state engineering of a trapped ion by coherent-state superpositions

H. M. Moya-Cessa, Sascha Wallentowitz, W. Vogel

We propose a procedure that allows one to create arbitrary, discrete superpositions of coherent states of the quantized center-of-mass motion of a trapped ion along a line in phase space. In view of the overcompleteness of the coherent states, such a method can be used for the engineering of motional quantum states.

Generation of Superpositions of Two-Mode Coherent States for the Motion of Two Trapped Ions

Zheng Zheng, Shi-Biao

We propose a method for the generation of superpositions of two-mode coherent states for the center-of-mass and relative vibrational modes of two trapped ions. In the scheme the ions are driven by a single travelling-wave laser field tuned to the carrier. Then a measurement of the internal states collapses the vibrational modes to the entangled coherent state.

Robust quantum state engineering using coherent states on a truncated von Neumann lattice

Lampros K. Stergioulas, Apostol Vourdas

Quantum states are constructed as a superposition of a few coherent states on a truncated von Neumann lattice. It is shown that the reconstruction is robust, in the sense that random noise in the coefficients affects the constructed state weakly. Numerical results for squeezed states and number eigenstates demonstrate that the technique is very accurate.

Quantum-State Engineering of Multiple Trapped Ions for Center-of-Mass Mode

We propose a scheme to generate a superposition with arbitrary coefficients on a line in phase space for the center-of-mass vibrational mode of N ions by means of isolating all other spectator vibrational modes from the center-of-mass mode. It can be viewed as the generation of previous methods for preparing motional states of one ion. For large number of ions, we need only one cyclic operatin to generate such a superposition of many coherent 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.
