An　alternative　scheme　is　proposed　to　transfer　quantum　states　and　prepare　a　quantum　network　in　cavity　QED.　It　is　based　on　the　interaction　of　a　two-mode　cavity　Geld　with　a　three-level　V-type　atom.　In　the　scheme,　the　atom-cavity　field　interaction　is　resonant,　thus　the　time　required　to　complete　the　quantum　state　transfer　process　is　greatly　shortened,　which　is　very　important　in　view　of　decoherence.　Moreover,　the　present　scheme　does　not　require　one　mode　of　the　cavities　to　be　initially　prepared　in　one-photon　state,　thus　it　is　more　experimentally　feasible　than　the　previous　ones.　©　International　Academic　Publishers.
