Neutral atoms in optical lattices have the advantage of a natural scalability towards large qubit numbers and a weak coupling to the environment, leading to long decoherence time. However, the creation of multi-partite entanglement and the unambiguous characterization of it in optical lattices still remain challenging.
Here we propose an experiment towards the perparation of a 4-qubit GHZ-type state in an optical plaquette and introduce the progress of the project. Recently, by using two superlattices along perpendicular directions, a four-site optical plaquettes have been realized. By employing a spin-dependent superlattice, one can achieve state initialization as well as spin and site resolved addressing and detection, the key prerequisites to prepare and observe multi-body correlations in optical lattices.
