HOPPER is a novel asynchronous protocol for quantum entanglement distribution that uses hop-by-hop autonomous decisions to multiplex concurrent ebit requests, outperforming synchronous serial approaches in simulations.
Simplified error models such as Pauli twirling lead to severe discrepancies, including under/over-estimation, measurement dependencies, and fidelity oscillations, in iterative quantum network protocols.
The paper analytically derives optimal activation periods for links in linear quantum repeater chains under general fidelity constraints and extends a heuristic to general networks evaluated via simulation.
Upper bounds on distillable conference key in pair-entangled networks are derived depending on topology and entanglement, with tightness proven and optimality of pairwise distillation plus merging shown for specific cases.
The authors prove existence of a unitary that maps a two-qubit state to one where a single observable expectation equals the initial concurrence and demonstrate a robust optimal control implementation via numerical simulations.
