Abstract

We propose an ideal scheme for preparing vibrational SU(1,1)SU(1,1)\mathrm{SU(1,1)} \otimes \mathrm{SU(1,1)} states in a two-dimensional ion trap using red and blue second sideband resolved driving of two orthogonal vibrational modes. Symmetric and asymmetric driving provide two regimes to realize quantum state engineering of the vibrational modes. In one regime, we show that time evolution synthesizes so-called SU(1,1)\mathrm{SU}(1,1) Perelomov coherent states, that is separable squeezed states and their superposition too. The other regime allows engineering of lossless 50/50 SU(2)\mathrm{SU}(2) beam splitter states that are entangled states. These ideal dynamics are reversible, thus, the non-classical and entangled states produced by our schemes might be used as resources for interferometry.
