Such states of more than two entangled particles; known as Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states; play a crucial role in fundamental tests of quantum mechanics versus local realism and in many quantum information and quantum computation schemes. Our experimental arrangement is such that we start with two pairs of entangled photons and register the photons in a way that any information as to which pair each photon belongs to is erased. After detecting a trigger photon; the registered events at the detectors for the remaining three photons exhibit the desired GHZ correlations.
