Communication scenario enables robust self-testing of n-party Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger basis measurements

Abstract

Entangled basis measurements play a crucial role in distributing quantum entanglement between parties across a quantum network. In this work, we adopt a semi-device-independent approach that enables the self-testing of n-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) basis measurements without requiring shared entanglement between distant parties. Our method relies solely on input-output statistics from a communication scenario involving n spatially separated senders, each receiving two bits of input, and a single receiver with no input. We analyze the robustness of the proposed self-testing protocol. Additionally, we introduce a protocol for robust self-testing of the three-outcome partial Bell basis measurement that is easily implementable in an optical setup.
