Efficient Scheme for the Deterministic Maximal Entanglement of N Trapped Ions
Jörg Steinbach, Christopher C. Gerry · Physical Review Letters · 1998
We propose a method for generating maximally entangled states of $N$ two-level trapped ions. The method is deterministic and independent of the number of ions in the trap. It involves a controlled NOT acting simultaneously on all the ions through a dispersive interaction. We explore the potential application of our scheme for high precision frequency standards.
