Elementary optical gate for expanding an entanglement web
We introduce an elementary optical gate for expanding polarization entangled $W$ states in which every pair of photons is entangled alike. The gate is composed of a pair of 50:50 beamsplitters and ancillary photons in the two-photon Fock state. By seeding one of the photons in an $n$-photon $W$ state …
