Abstract
We describe schemes for transferring quantum states between light fields an d the motion of a trapped atom. Coupling between the motion and the light i s achieved via Raman transitions driven by a laser field and the quantized field of a high-finesse microscopic cavity mode. By cascading two such syst ems and tailoring laser held pulses, we show that it is possible to transfe r an arbitrary motional state of one atom to a second atom at a spatially d istant site.
