The method is deterministic and independent of the number of ions in the trap. It involves a controlled-NOT acting simultaneously on all the ions through a dispersive interaction. We explore the potential application of our scheme for high precision frequency standards.4 pages, no figures, submitted to PRL, under review, Revised Version: Incorporated referee commentsQuantum PhysicsAn efficient scheme for the deterministic maximal entanglement of N trapped ionstext
