A simple and efficient quantum non-demolition measurement (QND) scheme isproposed in which the arrival of a signal photon is detected without affectingthe qubit state. The proposed QND scheme functions even if the ancillary photonis replaced with weak light composed of vacuum and one-photon states. Althoughthe detection scheme is designed for entanglement sharing applications, it isalso suitable for general purification of a single photon state.
