Generation of Cluster States of Trapped Ions
Mei-Feng Chen, Xia-Ping Jiang
Abstract
A scheme is presented for generating cluster states in trapped ion system. The vibrational mode in the scheme is only virtually excited. The scheme uses two-level ions to generate cluster states and it only requires a single laser beam to illuminate two interacting ions. Therefore, the scheme is simple and easy. Its successful probability can reach 100%.
