Abstract

In this paper, we propose an effective scheme for generation of \(N\)-dimension atomic Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger states with the controlled phase flip gates. The successful probability of our scheme is 100 % in principle. The scheme is implemented with simple linear optical elements, delay lines and polarization-independent circulators. We discuss the feasibility of the setups, concluding that the scheme is feasible with current technology.
