摘要： The fidelity of the generated Schr?dinger Cat state (SCS) of a single trapped ion in the Lamb--Dicke approximation is discussed. The results show that the fidelity significantly decreases with the values of Lamb--Dicke parameter η and coherent state amplitude α increasing. For η= 0.20 and α= 3, the typical values of experimental parameters, the fidelity is rather low (30%). A scheme for generating the SCS is proposed without making the Lamb--Dike approximation in laser--ion interaction, and the fidelity of the generated SCS is about 99% for the typical values of experimental Lamb--Dicke parameters.

Abstract: The fidelity of the generated Schr?dinger Cat state (SCS) of a single trapped ion in the Lamb--Dicke approximation is discussed. The results show that the fidelity significantly decreases with the values of Lamb--Dicke parameter $\eta$ and coherent state amplitude $\alpha$ increasing. For $\eta$= 0.20 and $\alpha$= 3, the typical values of experimental parameters, the fidelity is rather low (30%). A scheme for generating the SCS is proposed without making the Lamb--Dike approximation in laser--ion interaction, and the fidelity of the generated SCS is about 99% for the typical values of experimental Lamb--Dicke parameters.

Key words: Schr?dinger cat state, trapped cold ion, Lamb--Dicke approximation, fidelity
