Fidelity estimation and entanglement verification for experimentally produced four-qubit cluster states

We propose methods of fidelity estimation and entanglement verification for experimentally produced four-qubit cluster states. We show that we can obtain a high lower bound of the fidelity using only four local projective measurement settings. The lower bound is close to the exact fidelity, which is determined only by at least nine local projective measurement settings. We also present witness operators for distinguishing entanglement around a four-qubit cluster state from specific classes of genuine four-qubit entanglement, e.g., a class including GHZ and $W$ types of entanglement.
