Introducing classical fields, we can transfer entanglement completely from discrete qubits into entangled coherent state. The entanglement also can be retrieved from the continuous-variable state of the cavities to the atomic qubits. Via…
A procedure is discussed for creating coherent superpositions of motional states of ion strings. The motional states are across the structural transition linear-zigzag, and their coherent superposition is achieved by means of spin-dependent…

A recent experiment [{\bf Phys. Rev. Lett. 126,082301 (2021)}] used the $(e,e'p)$ reaction on $^{12}$C to search for the effects of color transparency (the absence of final state interactions). Color transparency was said to be ruled out.…
