Efficient generation of Bell-cat states in remote cavities

Abstract

In the context of cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED), a potential scheme is proposed to generate entangled coherent states. The scheme includes twice interactions of two-level atoms with cavities. In the first interaction, two atoms are sent into a microwave cavity with the large detuning respectively. And then the second interaction is that the two atoms enter another microwave cavity and are driven by a resonant classical field meantime. When we choose the proper interaction time and make measurement on the two atoms, the two microwave cavity mode fields are determinatively entangled. In addition, it is easy to generalize the scheme to multi-cavity and multi-atom.
