In　this　paper,　we　propose　a　protocol　to　prepare　W　states　with　superconducting　quantum　interference　devices　by　using　dressed　states.　Through　choosing　a　set　of　dressed　states　suitably,　the　protocol　can　be　used　to　accelerate　the　adiabatic　passages　while　additional　couplings　are　unnecessary.　Moreover,　we　can　optimize　the　evolution　of　the　system　with　the　restraint　to　the　populations　of　the　intermediate　states　by　choosing　suitable　control　parameters.　Numerical　simulations　show　that　the　protocol　is　robust　against　the　parameter　variations　and　decoherence　mechanisms.　Furthermore,　the　protocol　is　faster　and　more　robust　against　the　dephasing　compared　with　that　by　the　adiabatic　passages.　As　for　the　Rabi　frequencies　of　pulses　designed　by　the　method,　they　can　be　expressed　by　the　linear　superpositions　of　Gaussian　functions,　which　does　not　increase　difficulty　in　the　experiments.　In　addition,　the　protocol　could　be　controlled　and　manipulated　easily　in　experiments　with　a　circuit　quantum　electrodynamics　system.　©　2016　American　Physical　Society.
