Experimental investigation of a four-qubit linear-optical quantum logic circuit

Robert Stárek, Michal Mičuda, Martina Miková +4 more

We experimentally demonstrate and characterize a four-qubit linear-optical quantum logic circuit. Our robust and versatile scheme exploits encoding of two qubits into polarization and path degrees of single photons and involves two crossed inherently stable interferometers. This approach allows us to design a complex quantum logic circuit that combines a genuine four-qubit C(3)Z gate and several two-qubit and single-qubit gates. The C(3)Z gate introduces a sign flip if and only if all four qubits are in the computational state |1〉. We verify high-fidelity performance of this central four-qubit gate using Hofmann bounds on quantum gate fidelity and Monte Carlo fidelity sampling. We also experimentally demonstrate that the quantum logic circuit can generate genuine multipartite entanglement and we certify the entanglement with the use of suitably tailored entanglement witnesses.

The entanglement of the four-photon cluster state

Christoph Schmid, Nikolai Kiesel, Witlef Wieczorek +1 more

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 experimentally realized four-photon cluster state. We describe how spontaneous parametric down conversion together with linear optics quantum logic can be used for the experimental study.

Experimental Analysis of a Four-Qubit Photon Cluster State

Nikolai Kiesel, Christian Schmid, Ulrich Weber +4 more

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.
