Generation of GHZ-type and \emph{W}-type entangled coherent states of three-cavity fields

Abstract

We present experimental schemes to prepare the three-cavity GHZ-type and \emph{W}-type entangled coherent states in the context of dispersive cavity quantum electrodynamics. The schemes can be easily generalized to prepare the GHZ-type and \emph{W}-type entangled coherent states of $n$-cavity fields. The discussion of our schemes indicates that it can be realized by current technologies.
