Unconditional preparation of multipartite continuous-variable entangled states among remote parties

We demonstrate that the n-partite continuous-variable entanglement can be unconditionally prepared among n parties that share no common past, from n two-mode squeezed states. Both GHZ-like and cluster-like states can be generated for any nonzero squeezing in the entangled sources. An application of the resulting multipartite entangled state to a teleportation network is illustrated.Physics, MultidisciplinarySCI(E)中国科技核心期刊(ISTIC)3ARTICLE5null1
