Anton Zeilinger coauthored an experiment preparing GHZ states of three spatially separated photons. The distinguishing feature is the quantum coherence between the two three-photon alternatives: recording the same populations alone would also be compatible with an incoherent mixture. Measurements in additional polarization bases tested this distinction, making three-party entanglement an experimental resource for investigating local realism.[ref]
