Generation of W states via Lyapunov control by combination of quantum Zeno dynamics
Dawei Zhang, W. Wang
Abstract
We propose a scheme to create a 4-atom W state by Lyapunov control with the help of quantum Zeno effect. The effective Hamiltonian to describe quantum Zeno dynamics can be obtained in an invariant Zeno subspace and the 4-atom W state can be achieved through modulating the system parameters. Numerical simulation shows that the present scheme is robust against both cavity decay and the atom spontaneous emission. Furthermore, we present a proposal for W state conversion by the same principle, which provides theoretically a novel way for multi-qubits entanglement preparation.
