Coherent manipulation of a large number of qubits and the generation of entangled states between them has been an important goal and benchmark in quantum information science, leading to various applications such as measurement-based quantum computing and high-precision quantum metrology. However, the experimental preparation of multiparticle entanglement remains challenging. Using atoms, entangled states of up to eight qubits have been created, and up to six photons have been entangled.
