    This appendix shows another way of "doing the math" in the GHZ experiment.

    \[ \Psi_{yyx} = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2}} (H_1 H_2 H_3 + V_1 V_2 V_3)~ \begin{array}{|l} \text{substitute,}~ H_1 = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2}} (R_1 + L_1) \\ \text{substitute,}~ H_2 = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2}} (R_2 + L_2) \\ \text{substitute,}~ H_3 = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2}} (H'_3 + V'_3) \\ \text{substitute,}~ V_1 = \frac{i}{ \sqrt{2}} (L_1 - R_1) \\ \text{substitute,}~ V_2 = \frac{i}{ \sqrt{2}} (L_2 - R_2) \\ \text{substitute,}~ V_3 = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2}} (H'_3 - V'_3) \\ \text{simplify} \end{array} \rightarrow \Psi_{yyx} = \frac{1}{2} R_1 R_2 V'_3 + \frac{1}{2} R_1 L_2 H'_3 + \frac{1}{2} L_1 R_2 H'_3 + \frac{1}{2} L_1 L_2 V'_3 \nonumber \]
