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.

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…

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.
