Experimental Construction of Optical Multi-qubit Cluster States From Bell States

Abstract

Cluster states serve as the central physical resource for the measurement-based quantum computation. We here present a simple experimental demonstration of the scalable cluster-state-construction scheme proposed by Browne and Rudolph. In our experiment, three-photon cluster states are created from two Bell states using linear optical devices. By observing a violation of three-particle Mermin inequality of $|<\text{A}>|=3.10\pm 0.03$, we also for the first time report a genuine three-photon entanglement. In addition, the entanglement properties of the cluster states are examined under ${\sigma }_z$ and ${\sigma }_x$ measurements on a qubit.
