Abstract

Multipartite entanglement is one of the most fundamental and important resources for quantum information processing in both discrete variable and continuous variable (CV) regimes. For its applications in the CV regime, such as the realization of quantum teleportation networks and quantum dense coding, the quadrature squeezing of multipartite entanglement plays a significant role. Here, we report the first, to the best of our knowledge, experimental measurement of the quadrature squeezing in the quadripartite entanglement generated by the two-beam pumped cascaded four-wave mixing process in a $^{85}{\mathop {\mathrm {Rb}}}$ vapor cell. Moreover, we find that the quadrature squeezing is nonexistent in each pair of beams, but exists in the whole quadripartite entanglement. Our results may find potential applications in building a multi-user quantum secret sharing network.
