Feasible quantum error detection with linear optics

We present linear optical schemes, based on the quantum parity check, that perform error detection on two-photon entangled states and arbitrary single-photon states. Also, a limited form of error correction is possible. These schemes operate without CNOT gates, ancillary qubits, GHZ states, or multiple two-photon states.
