Key points

  • It implements RS-cat code Bell state measurement with only a half beam splitter (HBS) and photon-number-resolving detectors (PNRDs).
  • It distinguishes the four Bell states using discrete rotational symmetry, photon-number remainder information, and phase information.
  • In the lossless and large-amplitude regime, it enables deterministic Bell state measurement for any symmetry order N.
  • Numerical evaluation of photon loss shows that higher-order RS-cat codes are advantageous in certain loss regimes.
  • Postselection can further increase success probability, and the required photon-number resolution is within practical reach.
