Abstract

We propose new methods to construct universal Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ)-state analyzers without destroying the qubits by using two-qubit parity gates. The idea can be applied to any physical systems where the two-qubit parity gate can be realized. We also investigate the feasibility of nondestructively distinguishing the GHZ-basis states for photonic qubits with such an idea. The nondestructive GHZ-state analyzers can act as generators of GHZ entangled states and are expected to find useful applications for resource-saving quantum information processing.
