摘要

Bell state analysis (BSA) is an essential operation for distinguishing Bell states in numerous quantum information processing (QIP) protocols. Here, we propose a linear optical scheme to distinguish four polarization Bell states by exploiting orbital angular momentum (OAM) degree of freedom (DOF) as a self-assisted resource. The linear-optics-based architecture circumvents the inherent limitations of nonlinear optical interactions, and the self-assisted entanglement eliminates the requirement for auxiliary photons—a major challenge in practical QIP implementations. This deterministic BSA scheme offers a promising route toward practical and high-performance QIP tasks in photonic systems.
