Multi-ion Mach–Zehnder interferometer with artificial nonlinear interactions

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/23/3/034205

Abstract We propose a method to implement a Mach–Zehnder interferometry based upon a string of trapped ions with artificial nonlinear interactions. By manipulating the coupling strength between two involved internal states of the ions, we could achieve the beam splitting/recombination with NOON states. Using current techniques for manipulating trapped ions, we discuss the experimental feasibility of our scheme and analyze some undesired uncertainty under realistic experimental environment.
