Abstract

Multipartite quantum steering is an important quantum resource and the basis of quantum computing and quantum secure communication. In this paper, a scheme is proposed to produce genuine five-partite quantum steering by an injected signal optical parametric oscillation cascaded with two sum-frequency processes. First, an idler beam is generated by a difference-frequency generation process between the pump and the injected signal in an optical superlattice. By using the quasi-phase-matching technique, two sum-frequency beams are generated by the sum-frequency processes of pump and idler beams as well as pump and injected signals in the same optical superlattice. It is found that the genuine five-partite steering exists by applying a criterion for genuine multipartite quantum steering. Finally, the variation properties of the quantum steering with parameters are discussed. The genuine five-partite quantum steering generated by the present scheme has potential applications in quantum computing and quantum secure communication.
