Abstract
Aggregating logical quantum information encoded in continuous-variable phase space is essential for distributed quantum computing. However, passive linear optics fail for non-Gaussian Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) codes due to symplectic lattice compression and entanglement-induced decoherence. We present an active, measurement-based framework for the homomorphic aggregation of multi-node GKP states. Utilizing GKP Bell states and homodyne feed-forward, we construct a completely positive trace-preserving map that computes the logical sum of distributed states while preserving the logical code space geometry up to correctable finite-squeezing deformations. We prove this protocol operates as an approximate quantum non-demolition measurement, bound its cryptographic leakage for continuous one-time pads, and derive analytical logical fidelity limits under finite-squeezing constraints.
