General scheme for preparation of three-atom W state via cavity QED
Changchun Wang
Abstract
A general scheme of preparing three-atom maximally W state is proposed. Our proposal is based on cavity QED. The discussion of this scheme indicates we can obtain three-atom maximally W state whether the atoms are injected into the cavity simultaneously or at different time. It can be realized by current technologies and it also can be generalized to prepare the n-atom W states.
