Recently, two-photon six-qubit hyperentangled states were produced in\nexperiment and they can improve the channel capacity of quantum communication\nlargely. Here we present a scheme for the hyperentanglement purification of\nnonlocal two-photon systems in three degrees of freedom (DOFs), including the\npolarization, the first-longitudinal-momentum, and the second longitudinal\nmomentum DOFs. Our hyperentanglement purification protocol (hyper-EPP) is\nconstructed with two steps resorting to parity-check quantum nondemolition\nmeasurement on the three DOFs and SWAP gates, respectively. With these two\nsteps, the bit-flip errors in the three DOFs can be corrected efficiently.\nAlso, we show that using SWAP gates is a universal method for hyper-EPP in the\npolarization DOF and multiple longitudinal momentum DOFs. The implementation of\nour hyper-EPP is assisted by nitrogen-vacancy centers in optical microcavities,\nwhich could be achieved with current techniques. It is useful for long-distance\nhigh-capacity quantum communication with two-photon six-qubit\nhyperentanglement.\n
