Effective protocol for preparation of N-photon Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger states with conventional photon detectors

In this work we show that the generating N-photon Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger entangled state protocol proposed by Xia et al. (Appl Phys Lett 92(1–3):021127, 2008) which can be realized by a simpler optical setup and with a higher success probability. The present protocol setup involves simple linear optical elements, N single-photon superposition states and conventional photon detectors. This makes the protocol more realizable in experiments.
