摘要
When operated suitably, the one-atom maser can entangle the cavity field with two atoms such that the resulting state is a superposition of a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state and another component. This unwanted component can be suppressed substantially by exploiting trapping states. Alternatively, for another choice of parameters the second component is an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) state. In both cases, one can pick out either the EPR or the GHZ component by measuring the parity of the cavity field with the aid of a third atom. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
