A Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state, or GHZ state, is a multipartite entangled state of qubits of the form
The two terms are orthogonal unit vectors in the tensor product space , so the state is normalized. Across any division
into two nonempty groups of qubits, this state has Schmidt
rank two and hence exhibits quantum entanglement.
For three qubits,
Its perfect correlations under products of Pauli matrices yield the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger theorem, a contradiction with predetermined local outcomes that does not require an inequality (Greenberger et al. 1990).
