Light states composed of multiple entangled photons - such as cluster states - are essential for developing and scaling-up quantum computing networks. Photonic cluster states with discrete variables can be obtained from single-photon sources and entangling gates, but so far this has only been done with probabilistic sources constrained to intrinsically-low efficiencies, and an increasing hardware overhead. Here, we report the resource-efficient generation of polarization-encoded, individually-addressable, photons in linear cluster states occupying a single spatial mode. We employ a single entangling-gate in a fiber loop configuration to sequentially entangle an ever-growing stream of photons originating from the currently most efficient single-photon source technology - a semiconductor quantum dot. With this apparatus, we demonstrate the generation of linear cluster states up to four photons in a single-mode fiber. The reported architecture can be programmed to generate linear-cluster states of any number of photons with record scaling ratios, potentially enabling practical implementation of photonic quantum computing schemes.
We study a system made up of one or two two-level quantum emitters, coupled to a single transverse mode of a closed waveguide, in which photon wavenumbers and frequencies are discretized, and characterize the stable states in which one excitation is
We introduce plaquette projected entangled-pair states, a class of states in a lattice that can be generated by applying sequential unitaries acting on plaquettes of overlapping regions. They satisfy area-law entanglement, possess long-range correlat
We propose a unified and deterministic scheme to generate arbitrary single-photon multimode $W$ states in circuit QED. A three-level system (qutrit) is driven by a pump-laser pulse and coupled to $N$ spatially separated resonators. The coupling stren
Efficient sources of many-partite non-classical states are key for the advancement of quantum technologies and for the fundamental testing of quantum mechanics. We demonstrate the generation of time-correlated photon triplets at telecom wavelengths v
Solid-state single-photon emitters (SPEs) such as the bright, stable, room-temperature defects within hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) are of increasing interest for quantum information science applications. To date, the atomic and electronic origins of
