Abstract

We propose a fast scheme to generate the quantum-interference states of N trapped ions. In the scheme the ions are driven by a standing-wave laser beam whose carrier frequency is tuned such that the ion transition can take place. We also propose a simple and fast scheme to produce the GHZ state of N hot trapped ions and this scheme is insensitive to the heating of vibrational motion, which is important from the viewpoint of decoherence.

Fast scheme for the generation of entangled states of multiple hot trapped ions

Shi‐Biao Zheng

We propose a simple and fast scheme for producing maximally entangled states for many trapped ions. The scheme only requires a single laser beam tuned to the ionic carrier frequency. Our scheme works in the regime, where the Rabi frequency is of the order of the vibrational frequency. Our scheme operates in a fast way and is insensitive to heating of vibrational motion, which is important in view of decoherence. Thus, our scheme opens promising prospects for entanglement engineering in a scalable way.

High-speed generation of macroscopic quantum-interference states for the motion of a trapped ion

Shi‐Biao Zheng

A scheme is presented for the generation of macroscopic quantum-interference states for the motion of a trapped ion. In the scheme the ion is driven by a standing-wave laser beam whose carrier frequency is tuned to the ion transition. The distinct feature of the scheme is that the time required to generate the desired state is limited only by the available laser intensity, not by inherent mechanisms such as off-resonant excitations. Therefore, our scheme may allow the generation of the desired state at a high speed, which is important in view of decoherence. In the two-dimension case, entangled coherent states can be obtained. The scheme can also be used to generate entangled states for multiple modes of $N$ trapped ions with a single strong standing-wave laser pulse.

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.

A simple scheme to produce the GHZ state of three hot trapped ions is proposed.In this scheme,three two-level ions initially in the same state are confined in linear trap and are simultaneously illuminated by two classical homogeneous lasers.This scheme is insensitive to heating of vibrational motion,which is important in view of decoherence.

Motional Quantum-State Engineering and Implementation of a Quantum Phase-Gate for Multiple Trapped Ions

Wen‐Xing Yang

We propose a scheme to generate a superposition of motional coherent states with arbitrary coefficients on a line in phase space and implement a quantum controlled phase-gate for multiple trapped ions with a single standing-wave laser pulse whose carrier frequency is tuned to the ions transition. In the scheme each ion does not need to be exactly positioned at the node of the standing wave, which is very important from viewpoint of experiment. Furthermore, our scheme may allow the generation of a superposition of coherent states with large mean phonon number for a large number of trapped ions in a fast way by choosing suitable laser intensity. We show that it can also be used to generate maximally entangled states of multiple trapped ions.
