Physical Review A

Deterministic Bell states and measurement of the motional state of two trapped ions

Abstract

We present a method for the deterministic generation of all the electronic Bell states of two trapped ions. It involves the combination of a purely dispersive with a resonant laser excitation of vibronic transitions of the ions. In contrast to other methods presented up to now, our proposal does not require differential laser addressing of the individual ions and may be easily implemented with present available techniques. It is further shown that this excitation scheme is highly adequate for the complete determination of the motional state of the ions.

Entanglement between motional states of a single trapped ion and light

F. L. Semião, A. Vidiella-Barranco, José Antonio Roversi

We propose a generation method of Bell-type states involving light and the vibrational motion of a single trapped ion. The trap itself is supposed to be placed inside a high-$Q$ cavity sustaining a single mode, quantized electromagnetic field. Entangled light-motional states may be readily generated if a conditional measurement of the ion's internal electronic state is made after an appropriate interaction time and a suitable preparation of the initial state. We show that all four Bell states may be generated using different motional sidebands (either blue or red), as well as adequate ionic relative phases.

Even and Odd Coherent States of the Motion of a Trapped Ion

R. L. de Matos Filho, W. Vogel

We propose a scheme for generating even and odd coherent states of the motion of a trapped ion via laser excitation of two vibronic transitions. These quantum superposition states emerge from the long-time dynamics, when the ion decouples from the laser fields and remains in a pure state given by the product of the electronic ground state with a quantum superposition of coherent states of the vibrational motion.

Efficient Scheme for the Deterministic Maximal Entanglement of N Trapped Ions

Jörg Steinbach, Christopher C. Gerry

We propose a method for generating maximally entangled states of $N$ two-level trapped ions. The method is deterministic and independent of the number of ions in the trap. It involves a controlled NOT acting simultaneously on all the ions through a dispersive interaction. We explore the potential application of our scheme for high precision frequency standards.

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.

Simplified Scheme for Measuring the Entangled Vibronic States of a Trapped Ion

Shi‐Biao Zheng

We propose a simplified scheme for measuring the entangled state of the motional and electronic degrees of freedom of an ion trapped in a one-dimensional harmonic potential. The scheme is based on the polychromatic excitation of the ion by three lasers tuned to the carrier, the first lower, and the upper vibrational sidebands, respectively. The method directly yields the elements of the Wigner characteristic function matrix in the electronic basis. The scheme can be easily generalized to the two-dimensional case.
