Abstract

Logic qubit entanglement, which is also called the concatenated Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (C-GHZ) state, is robust in practical noisy environment. In this paper, we will describe an efficient approach to realize the complete polarization Bell-state analysis which is encoded in the logic qubit. We showed that the logic Bell-state can be distinguished in two steps with the help of the parity-check measurement (PCM), which is constructed by the cross-Kerr nonlinearity. We also explain that this approach can be used to distinguish arbitrary C-GHZ state with $N$ logic qubits. This protocol is useful in the long-distance quantum communication based on the logic qubit entanglement.
