Abstract

A scheme is proposed to generate an arbitrary entangled state of the two-dimensional vibrational motion of a trapped ion. In the scheme the ion is excited by a sequence of laser pulses tuned to the appropriate vibrational sidebands. In order to generate a pure state with upper phonon numbers M and N in the X and Y directions, respectively, we require no more than $(M+2)(N+1)$ operations.

Generation of arbitrary two-dimensional motional states of a trapped ion

Xu‐Bo Zou, K. Pahlke, Wolfgang M. Mathis

We present a scheme to generate an arbitrary two-dimensional quantum state of motion of a trapped ion. This proposal is based on a sequence of laser pulses, which are tuned appropriately to control transitions on the sidebands of two modes of vibration. Not more than $(M+1)(N+1)$ laser pulses are needed to generate a pure state with a phonon number limit M and N.

Generation and stabilization of entangled coherent states for the vibrational modes of a trapped ion

Zhi‐Rong Zhong, Xin-Jie Huang, Zhen‐Biao Yang +2 more

We propose a scheme for preparation of entangled coherent states for the motion of an ion in a two-dimensional anisotropic trap. In the scheme, the ion is driven by four laser beams along different directions in the ion trap plane, resulting in carrier excitation and couplings between the internal and external degrees of freedom. When the total quantum number of the vibrational modes initially has a definite parity, the competition between the unitary dynamics and spontaneous emission will force the system to evolve to a steady state, where the vibrational modes are in a two-mode cat state. We show that the method can be extended to realization of entangled coherent states for three vibrational modes of an ion in a three-dimensional anisotropic trap.

Quantum-state synthesis of multimode bosonic fields: Preparation of arbitrary states of two-dimensional vibrational motion of trapped ions

G. Drobný, B. Hladký, Vladimír Bužek

We present a universal algorithm for an efficient deterministic preparation of an arbitrary two-mode bosonic state. In particular, we discuss in detail preparation of entangled states of a two-dimensional vibrational motion of a trapped ion via a sequence of laser-stimulated Raman transitions. Our formalism can be generalized for multimode bosonic fields. We examine stability of our algorithm with respect to a technical noise.

Filtering number states of the vibrational motion of an ion

H. M. Moya-Cessa, P. Tombesi

We propose a scheme to generate number states, and specific superpositions of them, of the vibrational motion of a trapped ion via laser excitation of two vibronic transitions. Without detrimental effects on the internal state preparation, the ion can be initially in thermal motion and undergo spontaneous emission. In particular, qubits that are robust against noise $(\ensuremath{\alpha}|0〉+\ensuremath{\beta}|1〉$ states) can be generated with arbitrary amplitudes.

Preparation of motional macroscopic quantum-interference states of a trapped ion

Shi‐Biao Zheng

We propose a scheme for generating macroscopic quantum-interference (Schr\"odinger-cat) states of the motion of a trapped ion. In the scheme, a trapped ion is driven by two laser beams tuned to the first lower and upper vibrational sidebands, respectively. Under certain conditions, the detection of the internal state of the ion leaves the vibrational motion in a coherent state superposition. The scheme can be easily generalized to prepare other kinds of cat states.
