This paper proposes a scheme to generate, in an ion-trap, a type of multipartite maximally entangled state which was first introduced by Chen et al. [Chen P X, Zhu S Y and Guo G C 2006 Phys. Rev. A 74 032324]. The maximum entanglement property of these states is examined. It also demonstrates how to discriminate among these states in the ion-trap.
We show a scheme to generate entangled coherent states in a circuit quantum electrodynamics system, which con- sists of a nanomechanical resonator, a superconducting Cooper-pair box （CPB）, and a superconducting transmission line resonator. In the system, the CPB plays the role of a nonlinear medium and can be conveniently controlled by a gate volt- age including direct-current and alternating-current components. The scheme provides a powerful tool for preparing the multipartite mesoscopic entangled coherent states.
By virtue of the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators we present a new approach to obtain operators' normal ordering. We first put operators into their Weyl ordering through the Weyl-Wigner quantization scheme, and then we convert the Weyl ordered operators into normal ordering by virtue of the normally ordered form of the Wigner operator.
Based on our previously proposed Wigner operator in entangled form, we introduce the generalized Wigner operator for two entangled particles with different masses, which is expected to be positive-definite. This approach is able to convert the generalized Wigner operator into a pure state so that the positivity can be ensured. The technique of integration within an ordered product of operators is used in the discussion.
By virtue of the technique of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators and the bipartite entangled state representation, we derive some new identities about operator Hermite polynomials in both the single-and two-variable cases. We also find a binomial-like theorem between the single-variable Hermite polynomials and the two-variable Hermite polynomials. Application of these identities in deriving new integration formulas, but without really doing the integration in the usual sense, is demonstrated.
We show that the quantum-mechanical fundamental representations, say, the coordinate representation, the coherent state representation, the Fan-Klauder entangled state representation can be recast into s-ordering operator expansion, which is elegant in form and has many applications in deriving new operator identities. This demonstrates that Dirac's symbolic method can be merged into Newton-Leibniz integration theory in a broad way.

We newly construct two mutually-conjugate tripartite entangled state representations, based on which we propose the formulation of three-mode entangled fractional Fourier transformation （EFFT） and derive the transformation kernel. The EFFT＇s additivity property is proved and the eigenmode of EFFT is derived. As an application, we calculate the EFFT of the three-mode squeezed vacuum state.
