Narrow Results

Symmetric Dicke states are a generalization of W-states that display interesting properties. These properties enable one to generate arbitrarily large symmetric Dicke states using operations on finite (2k) number of qubits. This paper formulates explicitly some basic results needed for this purpose. These results are synthesized into a generic Scalable Entangling Protocol. Examples are provided to illustrate the approach generality. A concomitant graphical representation allows fast comprehension of the protocol inputs, operations and outcomes.
