Theoretical calculations have shown that it is possible to produce entanglement between
two atoms residing in a cavity resonator [1]. The most prominent experimental setup to
utilize the idea is considered to be a combination of precisely controllable trapped ions
and an optical cavity (e.g. [2]). We study the effect of the inevitable atomic spontaneous
emissions and cavity photon losses to the dynamics and look for realistic alternatives to
enhance the entanglement production.
Figure 1: Simplified view of the problem in hand. Two ions are trapped inside a cavity
resonator (grey blocks indicate the mirrors). The isolated ions interact coherently via the
cavity photon mode. This induces entanglement between the atomic quantum states.
