Fast scheme for generating quantum-interference states and GHZ state of N trapped ions

We propose a fast scheme to generate the quantum-interference states of N trapped ions. In the scheme the ions are driven by a standing-wave laser beam whose carrier frequency is tuned such that the ion transition can take place. We also propose a simple and fast scheme to produce the GHZ state of N hot trapped ions and this scheme is insensitive to the heating of vibrational motion, which is important from the viewpoint of decoherence.     

Storage of Entangled States with Multiple Trapped Ions in Thermal Motion

This paper presents an alternative scheme to realize the storage of entangled states for multiple trapped ions including W state, Bell states, and GHZ states even with ions which exchange vibrational energy with a heating surrounding. Our scheme requires that the ions be simultaneously excited by two laser beams with different frequencies.In this scheme the vibrational degrees of freedom are only regarded as intermediate states and the ions exchange energy via the mediation of the vibration of the vibrational mode in coupling processes. The scheme is insensitive to both the initial vibrational state and heating if the system remains in the Lamb-Dicke regime. Since the effective Rabi frequency has a small dependence on the vibrational quantum number the heating will have no direct effect on the internal state evolution.     

Measurement of the Wigner Characteristic Function for the Center－of－Mass Motion of Two Trapped Ions

We proposed a scheme for the reconstruction of the quantum states for the center-of-mass vibrational mode of two trapped ions. In the scheme the ions are multichromatically excited by three lasers. Then measurement of the difference between probabilities of the ions being both in electronic ground and excited states directly yields the Wigner characteristic function for the center-of-mass vibrational state. The scheme can also be used to prepare entangled coherent states for the center-of-mass and relative vibrational modes.     

Generation of Multi-mode Entangled Coherent States for N Trapped Ions in Strong-Excitation Regime

We propose a scheme to generate entangled coherent states for the vibrational modes of N trapped ions. In the scheme the first ion is sequentially excited by two travelling wave laser fields tuned to the ion transition. The scheme works in the strong-excitation regime, which is of experimental importance in view of decoherence.

In the scheme the ions are driven by a single travelling-wave laser field tuned to the carrier. Then a measurement of the internal states collapses the vibrational modes to the entangled coherent state.

Motional Quantum State Engineering Via a Single Laser-ion Interaction

We propose a scheme to prepare superpositions of several Fock states for the one-dimensional motion of a trapped ion. In the scheme the ion is simultaneously excited by N+1 laser beams, with the nth laser tuned to the　nth upper vibrational sideband. After a short interaction time, a measurement of the internal state may project the vibrational motion onto a superposition of the first N+1 Fock states. The scheme can be easily generalized to synthesize entangled states for the two-dimensional ion motion.     

Preparation of Macroscopic Quantum-Interference States for a Collection of Trapped Ions Via a Single Geometric Operation

We describe a scheme for the generation of macroscopic quantum-interference states for a collection of trapped ions by a single geometric phase operation. In the scheme the vibrational mode is displaced along a circle with the radius proportional to the number of ions in a certain ground electronic state. For a given interaction time, the vibrational mode returns to the original state, and the ionic system acquires a geometric phase proportional to the area of the circle, evolving from a coherent state to a superposition of two coherent states. The ions undergo no electronic transitions during the operation. Taking advantage of the inherent fault-tolerant feature of the geometric operation, our scheme is robust against decoherence.     

Quantum Nondemolition Measurement of the Collective Motional Energy of Two Trapped Ions

We propose a quantum nondemolition measurement of the collective motional energy of two trapped ions for the first time.It is based on the excitation of the two ions by two lasers with appropriate frequencies and amplitudes.The scheme also provides a new possibility of preparing vibrational Fock states and laser cooling.     

Geometric phase gate with trapped ions in thermal motion by adiabatic passage

We propose a scheme for implementing two-qubit geometric phase gate via the adiabatic evolution for trapped ions in thermal motion, leveraging on the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage with the geometric phase mechanism. Evolution along a dark state makes our scheme not only immune from decoherence due to spontaneous emission from excited states, but also rid off the dynamical phase. Furthermore, due to the opposite detuning of the driving lasers, the vibrational states of the trapped ions are only virtually excited during the operations, so our scheme is also insensitive to the occupation number of the vibrational mode.     

Two Schemes for Generation of Entanglement for Vibronic Collective States of Multiple Trapped Ions

We propose two schemes to prepare entanglement for the vibronic collective states of multiple trapped ions. The first scheme aims to generating multipartite entanglement for vibrational modes of trapped ions, which only requires a single laser beam tuned to the ionic carrier frequency. Our scheme works in the mediated excitation regime, in which the corresponding Rabi frequency is equal to the trap frequency. Beyond their fundamental importance, these states may be of interest for experimental studies on decoherence since the present scheme operates in a fast way. The second scheme aims to preparing the continuous variable multimode maximal1y Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state. The distinct advantage is that the operation time is only limited by the available laser intensity, not by the inherent mechanisms such as off-resonant excitations. This makes it promising to obtain entanglernent of multiple coherent and squeezing states with desired amplitudes in a reasonable time.     

Tunable Nongeometric Phase Gates for Two Hot Ions via Adiabatic Evolution of Dark States

We propose a scheme for implementing nongeometric phase gates fbr two trapped ions via adiabatic passage of dark states. During the operation, the vibrational mode is only virtually excited, thus the scheme is insensitive to heating. Furthermore, the spontaneous emission is suppressed since the ions are always in the electronic ground states. The scheme is robust against small fluctuations of parameters, and the conditional phase is tunable.     

Conditional quantum phase gate between two 3-state atoms

We propose a scheme for conditional quantum logic between two 3-state atoms that share a quantum data bus such as a single mode optical field in cavity QED systems, or a collective vibrational state of trapped ions. Making use of quantum interference, our scheme achieves successful conditional phase evolution without any real transitions of atomic internal states or populating the quantum data bus. In addition, it requires only common addressing of the two atoms by external laser fields.     

Efficient Scheme for Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger State and Cluster State with Trapped Ions

We propose a scheme to generate the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger （GHZ） states and the cluster states of many trapped ions. In the scheme, the ion is illuminated by a single laser tuned to the first lower vibrational sideband. The scheme only requires resonant interactions. Thus the scheme is very simple and the quantum dynamics operation can be realized at a high speed, which is important in view of decoherence.     

Simple Scheme for Directly Measuring Concurrence of Two-Qubit Pure States in One Step

In the present work, a simple scheme for the direct measurement of the concurrence of two-qubit pure states is proposed. The scheme is based on trapped ions and only needs one step when the two identical pure states are given. The vibrational mode in our proposal is only virtually excited, which is important in view of decoherence.Furthermore, the scheme is feasible based on current technologies.     

Cluster states prepared by using hot trapped ions

We propose a scheme for the preparation of one-dimensional and two-dimensional cluster states by using hot trapped ions. The scheme is based on the interaction between two ions and bichromatic radiation. The vibrational mode in our protocol is only virtually excited so that the system is insensitive to the thermal field. In addition, we only use two levels of ions as qubits and the successful probability may achieve 100%.
