Generation of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-type States of n Atoms
Rui Shao
Abstract
We propose a scheme for generating Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-type states of n atoms trapped in the distant cavities by using interference of polarized photons. In our scheme, the atom-cavity coupling strength is smaller than the cavity decay rate. Thus, the requirement on the quality factor of the cavities is greatly relaxed. Furthermore, thefidelity of our scheme is not affected by the detection ineffciency and atomic decay.
