Preparation of W, GHZ, and two-qutrit states using bimodal cavities

We show how one can prepare three-qubit entangled states like W-states, Greenberger - Horne - Zeilinger states as well as two-qutrit entangled states using the multi-atom two-mode entanglement. We propose a technique of preparing such a multi-particle entanglement using stimulated Raman adiabatic passage. We consider a collection of three-level atoms in Lambda configuration simultaneously interacting with a resonant two-mode cavity for this purpose. Our approach permits a variety of multi-particle extensions.
