Entanglement swapping between multi-qudit systems

Abstract: We generalize the entanglement swapping scheme originally proposed for two pairs of qubits to an arbitrary number

q

of systems composed from an arbitrary number

m_{j}

of qudits. Each of the system is supposed to be prepared in a maximally entangled state of

m_{j}

qudits, while different systems are not correlated at all. We show that when a set

s u m_{j = 1}^{q} a_{j}

particles (from each of the

q

systems

a_{j}

particles are measured) are subjected to a generalized Bell-type measurement, the resulting set of

s u m_{j = 1}^{q} (m_{j} - a_{j})

particles will collapse into a maximally entangled state.
