Fidelity-Aware Multipath Routing for Multipartite State Distribution in Quantum Networks

Abstract: We consider the problem of distributing entangled multipartite states across a quantum network with improved distribution rate and fidelity. For this, we propose fidelity-aware multipath routing protocols, assess their performance in terms of the rate and fidelity of the distributed Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) states, and compare such performance against that of single-path routing. Simulation results […]

Quantum Wavelength-Division Multiplexing and Multiple-Access Communication Systems and Networks: Advanced Applications

Abstract: A cost-effective global quantum Internet may be developed using the existing communication infrastructure. This article examines the quantum version of three conventional wavelength-division-multiplexing and multiple-access (WDM) communication systems and networks. They are Lambdanet-based broadcast WDM networks, quantum routers based on a waveguide grating router, and fiber-to-the-quantum nodes that are fed by two opposing and […]
