Preparation of Dicke states in an ion chain
We have investigated theoretically and experimentally a method for preparing Dicke states in trapped atomic ions. We consider a linear chain of $N$ ion qubits that is prepared in a particular Fock state of motion $|m⟩$. The $m$ phonons are removed by applying a laser pulse globally to the $N$ …
