Abstract

A method to prepare nonclassical states of the motion of a trapped ion that interacts with a traveling wave light field has been proposed, which is based on modulation of the frequency of the traveling wave field. In the end, an experiment configuration about its preparation is proposed and discussed.

Nonclassical Properties and Generation of Superposition State of Excited Coherent States of Motion of Trapped Ion

Zhong-Jie Wang Zhong-Jie Wang, Chao-Yang Fan Chao-Yang Fan

We have studied the intensity squeezing of superposition state of excited coherent states and proposed a new method to prepare superposition state of excited coherent states of vibrational motion of trapped ion. This method is based on the interaction of a single trapped ion with two traveling wave light fields with different frequencies. An obvious merit of this method is that it works without application of the perturbation theory.

Feng Chen

A new method to prepare dark squeezed states of the motion of a trapped ion that interacts with a standing wave light field has been proposed.This method is based on modulation of the phase of the standing wave field.The dependence of the squeezed amplitude on the modulation amplitude is investigated.Choosing the appropriate modulating amplitude,we can produce the best squeezed vibrational state of the ion and find that its generation is companied by cancellation of the emitted fluorescence.In addition,an experiment configuration about its preparation is proposed and discussed.

Nonclassical properties and generation of excited entangled coherent states of motion of a trapped ion

Zhongjie Wang

We studied the two-mode squeezing of excited entangled coherent states and found that the deeper the two-mode squeezing, the larger the excitation number. In the end, we proposed a new method for preparing two-mode excited entangled coherent states of vibrational motion of a trapped ion by applying the interaction of a single two-mode trapped ion with many traveling wave light fields with different frequencies.

Preparation of Squeezed State and Entanglement State Between Vibrational Motion of Trapped Ion and Light

Zhong-Jie Wang

Several schemes have been proposed to prepare two-mode squeezed state and entanglement state between motional states of a single trapped ion and light. Preparation of two-mode squeezed state is based on interaction of a trapped ion located in light cavity with cavity field. Preparation of entanglement state is based on interaction of a trapped ion located in light cavity with cavity field and a traveling wave light field.
