Abstract

We propose a scheme for generation of NOON states via Raman transitions. In the scheme, a double \(\varLambda \)-type three-level atom is trapped in a high-Q bimodal cavity which is initially in vacuum states. After a series of operations and suitable interaction time, we can obtain highly nonclassical entangled states of one atom and N photons. Then it can easily be converted to purely photonic NOON states by application of a single projective measurement on the atom. The successful probability and fidelity of the scheme are finally discussed.
