Nondestructive quantum state discrimination is a fundamental primitive in distributed quantum information processing, where shared multipartite entangled resources need to be identified without being consumed. In this work, we present a scalable ancilla-assisted protocol for the strict nondestructive discrimination of
n-qubit GHZ-class states distributed among distant parties. By employing multipartite GHZ ancillary states and local unitary interactions, we show that the computational-pattern and relative-phase information of the system GHZ state can be coherently mapped onto two ancillary registers while leaving the system state unchanged. We explicitly derive the discrimination rules for three- and four-qubit GHZ-class states and develop a systematic extension to arbitrary
n. We further investigate the discrimination protocol in the presence of depolarizing and amplitude-damping noise in the ancillary system and obtain analytical expressions for the success probability and the corresponding critical noise thresholds. The protocol is also implemented using the IBM Qiskit platform to demonstrate its experimental feasibility and reproduce the expected ancillary measurement signatures. The proposed framework provides a scalable approach to the strict nondestructive discrimination of multipartite GHZ-class states and suggests a broader interpretation of the ancillary GHZ resources as probes of decoherence, opening a possible connection to quantum decoherence sensing in distributed quantum systems.
A protocol for non-destructive descrimination of arbitrary set of orthogonal quantum states was proposed by V. S. Manu et al., using an algorithm based on quantum phase estimation. IBM Corporation has released a superconductivity based 5-qubit (5-qubit transmon bowtie chip 3 and IBM 5-qubit real processor) quantum computer named Quantum Experience and placed it on cloud. In this paper we take advantage of the online availability of those real quantum processors(ibmqx2 amd ibmqx4) and carry out the above protocol that has experimentally demonstrated earlier using NMR quantum processor. Here, we set up experiments for arbitrary one-qubit and two-qubit orthogonal quantum states. The experiment confirmed that the arbitrary orthogonal quantum states can be discriminate in a nondestructive manner with a high fidelity. We compare the outcomes of those experiments which are done by ibmqx2 and ibmqx4 processors. Here, we also show the state tomography for the single qubit experiments.
Parity measurements have been explored as building blocks for preparing and discriminating entangled states, as well as for implementing quantum computation. We first develop two alternative high-dimensional generalized parity modules, and then propose a procedure for constructing high-dimensional generalized module-based controlled-NOT gate. The construction of module-based quantum computing introduced here is deterministic, heralded, insensitive to the dimensionality of the computing basis, and postselection technique is not required. The result shows that out of
(d−1)! generalized parity modules, only modules $ \mathcal{P}=(j\ominus i)\bmod d$ and $ \mathcal{P}=(j \oplus i)\bmod d$ can be used as building blocks for high-dimensional quantum computing. Furthermore, we proposed an optical nondestructive scheme for implementing generalized parity module through quantum nondemolition measurements, and the success of the parity module is heralded by photon-number-resolving detectors and single-photon detectors.
