We introduce a physical setup consisting of N emitters, incoherently radiating single photons that may be absorbed remotely by detectors equipped with polarizers and producing long-lived multiqubit entangled states in the internal ground levels of the emitters. By using optical fibers our system offers also access to remote entangled matter qubit states.
We show that it is possible to associate well-defined sets of locally tuned polarizer orientations with multiqubit entanglement classes, allowing their monitoring in an operational manner. Our method is not restricted to two or three particles but can monitor entanglement classes even for a four particle system. Hereby, multipath quantum interference, associated with qubit permutation symmetry, plays a key role in explaining the underlying physics.
