Abstract:
We propose two schemes for generating a four-atom cluster state in a thermal
cavity. With the assistant of a strong classical field the
photon-number-dependent parts in the effective Hamiltonian are canceled.
Thus the schemes are insensitive to the thermal field. The schemes can also
be used to generate the cluster state for the trapped ions in thermal
motion.
