Abstract
In this paper, we considered four two-level atoms coupled with a microwave cavity via stimulated Raman adiabatic passage in quadrapod linkage pattern. Engineering Rabi frequencies of a system with suitable pulse orders, results in entangled W states of four atoms. We also compared the theoretical results with the numerical solutions of the Schrödinger equation in the adiabatic limit which shows the creation of W states at the end of dynamics.
