 We propose a fast and efficient technique to create highly entangled states of trapped ions using a composite pulse resonant with the first motional sideband, which is robust to parameter fluctuations and operates on short time scales. The number of single pulses from the composite sequence equals the number of ions, and the approach does not require individual addressing of the ions in the trap.
