  We propose a scheme for conditional quantum logic between two 3-state atoms
that share a quantum data-bus such as a single mode optical field in cavity QED
systems, or a collective vibrational state of trapped ions. Making use of
quantum interference, our scheme achieves successful conditional phase
evolution without any real transitions of atomic internal states or populating
the quantum data-bus. In addition, it only requires common addressing of the
two atoms by external laser fields.
