Based on the cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED), we propose two schemes for realization of basic quantum information processing tasks, i.e., constructing a quantum SWAP gate directly and preparation for entangled coherent states. In the present paper, we show that the quantum swap gates of photonic qubits can be implemented only by one step with a three-level Λ-type atom trapped in a bimodal optical cavity. The purpose for the direct construction of swap gates is to save a great many quantum resources in practical quantum information processing and reduce the number of required unitary operation. For the latter, we obtain the entangled coherent states via the large detuning interaction, in the process of the unitary evolution of dressed states. This scheme provides a suitable cavity QED to prepare quantum entanglement for researchers, and provides a wider horizon for the generation of quantum entanglement based on cavity QED, which, to some extent, possesses reference value and guiding effect in the experiment, and the quantum entanglement can be used for the potential application in the quantum information and quantum communication in the future.
