| Summary: | Photonic Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states serve as the central resource for a number of important applications in quantum information science, including secret sharing, sensing, and fusion-based quantum computing. The use of photon-emitter entangling gates is a promising approach to creating these states that sidesteps many of the difficulties associated with intrinsically probabilistic methods based on linear optics. However, the efficient creation of high-fidelity GHZ states of many photons remains an outstanding challenge due to both coherent and incoherent errors during the generation process. Here, we propose an entanglement concentration protocol that is capable of generating perfect GHZ states using only local gates and measurements on imperfect weighted graph states. We show that our protocol is both efficient and robust to incoherent noise errors.
