Summary: A scheme for remote preparation of field (atomic) states is proposed. Protocol execution requires cavity QED based atom-field interactions successively supplemented with Ramsey interferometry. The state to be remotely prepared at the receiver’s end is acquired by deterministically manipulating the sender’s component of the pre-shared entangled state. In the case of field entanglement, it is carried out with the help of an atom that passes through the sender’s cavity and then traverses a classical external field for specified times prior to detection. However, for atomic entangled states, only interactions with the classical field suffice to complete the task. The scheme guarantees good success probability with high fidelity and requires one bit of classical communication.
