In order to generate such states, we use the quanta of light - photons - as our qubits. We generate them from a quantum dot in a microcavity which serves us as a deterministic single photon source. We explore a method of generating cluster states by entangling these photons with the means of linear optical elements and post-selection. We develop a theoretical model and show that it is in an agreement with our experimental data with single photons. From this agreement, we conclude that the cluster states arise in the experimental setup and the entanglement between the photons can be confirmed to be present with further analysis using our hypothesis and possibly even the quantum state tomography in the future.Show less
