GHZ states are key resources for quantum communication and error correction. While symmetric GHZ states (defined as equal superpositions of basis states) are known to be locally unitary (LU) equivalent to both star-shaped and fully connected graph states, their non-symmetric counterparts lack a comparable framework. Non-symmetric GHZ states, defined as unequal superpositions of basis states, naturally arise in experiments due to decoherence and imperfections in state preparation.
We establish that these non-symmetric GHZ states are LU-equivalent to two graphical formalisms: (i) fully connected weighted hypergraph states, and (ii) controlled-unitary star-shaped graphs. Although weighted hypergraph states typically lack a stabilizer description, we construct a complete stabilizer set using only a single ancilla qubit, independent of system size.
Building on this, we consider a qutrit quantum error-correcting code with parameters [[n=3, k=1, d=2]]3, whose codewords take the form of GHZ states. We inject these codewords into quantum circuits arranged in brickwall architectures and construct new quantum codes. Using this method, we obtain both optimal and good codes.
