Phys. Rev. A 59, 1025–1033 (1999)Creation of entangled states of distant atoms by interferenceReceived 28 September 1998; published in the issue dated February 1999 We propose a scheme to create distant entangled atomic states. It is based on driving two (or more) atoms with a weak laser pulse, so that the probability that two atoms are excited is negligible. If the subsequent spontaneous emission is detected, the entangled state is created. We have developed a model to analyze the fidelity of the resulting state as a function of the dimensions and location of the detector, and the motional properties of the atoms. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
