Generation of cluster-type entangled squeezed vacuum states

We present a scheme to prepare cluster-type entangled squeezed vacuum states (CTESVS) by considering the two-photon interaction between a two-level atom and a high-quality cavity, driven by a strong classical field. After the realization of simple atomic measurements, the generation of CTESVS in four separate cavities is accomplished within the cavity decay time. In the case of large atom--cavity detuning, the scheme is immune to the effect of atomic spontaneous emission.
