Abstract
We propose a new method,"counter-factual"carving, that uses the"no-jump"evolution of a probe to generate entangled many-body states of high fidelity. The probe is coupled to a target ensemble of qubits and engineered to exponentially decay at a rate depending on the target collective spin, such that post-selecting on observing no probe decay precisely removes select faster-decaying spin components. When probe and $N$-qubit target interact via a cavity mode of cooperativity $C$, counter-factual carving generates entangled states with infidelities of $e^{-C/N}$, an exponential improvement over previous carving schemes. Counter-factual carving can generate complex entangled states for applications in quantum metrology and quantum computing.
