Generation of Scalable Genuine Multipartite Gaussian Entanglement with a Parametric Amplifier Network

Abstract

Genuine multipartite entanglement is a valuable resource in quantum information science, as it exhibits inseparability across all possible bipartitions of a multimode quantum state. The large degree of quantum correlations can be exploited in various quantum information protocols, such as teleportation, dense coding, and quantum interferometry. Here, we propose a scheme to generate scalable genuine multipartite continuous-variable entangled states of light using a parametric amplifier network. We verify the presence of genuine quadripartite, hexapartite, and octapartite entanglement through a violation of the positive partial transpose criteria. Additionally, we use 𝛼-entanglement of formation to demonstrate the scalability of our approach to an arbitrary number of 2⁢𝑁 genuinely entangled parties by taking advantage of the symmetries present in our scheme.
