Phys. Rev. A 59, 2920–2925 (1999)Quantum-state engineering of a trapped ion by coherent-state superpositionsReceived 21 October 1998; published in the issue dated April 1999 We propose a procedure that allows one to create arbitrary, discrete superpositions of coherent states of the quantized center-of-mass motion of a trapped ion along a line in phase space. In view of the overcompleteness of the coherent states, such a method can be used for the engineering of motional quantum states. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
