Abstract

We present a self-error-correction spatial-polarization hyperentanglement distribution scheme for N-photon systems in a hyperentangled Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state over arbitrary collective-noise channels. In our scheme, the errors of spatial entanglement can be first averted by encoding the spatial-polarization hyperentanglement into the time-bin entanglement with identical polarization and defined spatial modes before it is transmitted over the fiber channels. After transmission over the noisy channels, the polarization errors introduced by the depolarizing noise can be corrected resorting to the time-bin entanglement. Finally, the parties in quantum communication can in principle share maximally hyperentangled states with a success probability of 100%.
