Generation of quasi-rectangle-states of the vibrational motion of an ion
We show how to generate quasi-rectangle-states of the vibrational motion of an ion, this is, states that have the same probability in a given position interval. We produce those states by repeated ion-laser interactions followed by conditional measurements that generate a superposition of squeezed states. The squeeze parameter of the initial state may be tuned in order to obtain such highly localized rectangle states.
