Linear-optics quantum logic operations enabled the observation of a four-photon cluster state. We prove genuine four-partite entanglement and study its persistency, demonstrating remarkable differences from the usual Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state. Efficient analysis tools are introduced in the experiment, which will be of great importance in further studies on multiparticle entangled states.

The entanglement of the four-photon cluster state
Measurement based quantum computation draws its power from the remarkable entanglement properties of the cluster states. This contribution analyses the entanglement and its persistency of an…
Experimental measurement-based quantum computing beyond the cluster-state model

Optimal verification of entanglement in a photonic cluster state experiment
We report on the quantification of entanglement by means of entanglement measures on a four- and a six-qubit cluster state realized by using photons entangled both in polarization and linear…
Simple experimental generation of a four-photon cluster state and distinguishing classes of genuine four-qubit entanglement using witness operators
We experimentally demonstrate a simple scheme for generating a four-photon cluster state. We show that the produced state has genuine four-qubit entanglement which is discriminated from a class…
Two-photon four-qubit cluster state generation based on a polarization-entangled photon pair.
TLDR
A two-photon four-qubit cluster state generator using linear optics and a single polarization-entangled photon-pair source based on spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) provides greater design flexibility compared to previous schemes that rely on hyperentanglement.
Experimental Analysis of Multi-Photon Entanglement
We report on the experimental observation and analysis of four-photon entangled states. We analyze the particular entanglement properties of these states and introduce criteria, which enable the…
Generation of a 4-qubit cluster of entangled coherent states in bimodal QED cavities
We propose a scheme to generate a 4-qubit cluster of entangled coherent states in bimodal QED cavities. The scheme employs a single two-level atom that interacts dispersively with cavity modes…

We propose an efficient method to construct an optical four-photon |χ〉 state analyzer via the cross-Kerr nonlinearity combined with linear optical elements. In this protocol, two four-qubit…
Experimental realization of one-way quantum computing with two-photon four-qubit cluster states.
TLDR
This paper reports an experimental realization of one-way quantum computing on a two-photon four-qubit cluster state entangled both in polarization and spatial modes and implemented a highly efficient Grover's search algorithm and high-fidelity two-qubits quantum gates.
Experimental direct observation of mixed state entanglement.
