Abstract

We propose a scheme to generate various nonclassical vibrational states in the collective motion of two trapped ions, such as squeezed states, Schrödinger cat states, and SU(2) states. It is based on Raman-type excitations. Two-mode coupling between the center-of-mass and relative vibrational modes can also be realized.

Realization of nonlinear oscillators with a trapped ion

G. Drobný, B. Hladký

We consider a trapped ion with a quantized center-of-mass motion in 2D trap potential. With external laser fields the effective (non)linear coupling of two orthogonal vibrational modes can be established via stimulated Raman transition. Nonclassical vibrational states such as squeezed states or two-mode entangled states (Schroedinger cat-like states) can be generated. When the vibrational modes are entangled with internal energy levels the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states can be prepared.

Preparation of nonclassical states and measurement of the Wigner function for the collective motion of N trapped ions

Zheng Shi-Biao

We propose a scheme for generating nonclassical states for the centre-of-mass vibrational mode of N trapped ions, including superpositions of several coherent states on a circle and Fock states. In the scheme N trapped ions are driven by a laser beam tuned to the carrier. The scheme also provides a new prospect for laser cooling. The scheme can be used to measure the Wigner function of the collective vibrational mode.

Generation of two-mode nonclassical states and a quantum-phase-gate operation in trapped-ion cavity QED

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

We propose a scheme to generate nonclassical states of a quantum system, which is composed of the one-dimensional trapped-ion motion and a single-cavity field mode. We show that two-mode SU(2), entangled coherent states, two-mode squeezed vacuum states, and their superposition can be generated. If the vibration mode and the cavity mode are used to represent separately a qubit, a quantum phase gate can be implemented.

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

Shi-Biao Zheng

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.
