Tree-Type Photonic Cluster State Generation with a Single Quantum Emitter

Yuan Zhan, Shuo Sun

We propose to deterministically generate photonic tree states and repeater graph states of arbitrary size with a single quantum emitter. Photonic entanglement is established through emission and rescattering from the same emitter.

Deterministic Generation of All-Photonic Quantum Repeaters from Solid-State Emitters

Donovan Buterakos, Edwin Barnes, Sophia E. Economou

Quantum repeaters allow for reliable transmission of quantum information over long distances. One possible approach relies on highly entangled photons. A new protocol provides a way to generate arbitrarily large states of entangled photons using just one emitter coupled to a single qubit.

Protocols for All-Photonic Quantum Repeaters

Naphan Benchasattabuse, Michal Hajdušek, Rodney Van Meter

All-photonic repeater scheme based on a repeater graph state (RGS) promises tolerance to photon losses as well as operational errors. An attractive promise of this scheme is that it offers a fast Bell pair generation rate, limited only by the RGS creation time. This is in stark contrast to the traditional quantum repeater with quantum memories, where the Bell pair generation time is limited by the round-trip wait time leading to poor Bell pair generation performance and quality due to the decoherence of quantum memories. Prior research has focused on lowering the cost of RGS generation and improving upon the probabilistic generation to a deterministic generation with required photon counts to be the same as the number of qubits in the RGS. The operations of creating and manipulating the RGS into an end-to-end Bell pair are complex and have not been fully figured out in detail. Here, we focus on improving the practicality of the RGS scheme in real-world implementation and address three open questions of the RGS scheme, namely; how do end nodes participate in the connection, what classical information needs to be exchanged and processed between nodes, and how to make RGS scheme work hand in hand with the traditional quantum repeaters with memories.

Engineering Challenges in All-Photonic Quantum Repeaters

Naphan Benchasattabuse, Michal Hajdušek, Rodney Van Meter

Quantum networking, heralded as the next frontier in communication networks, envisions a realm where quantum computers and devices collaborate to unlock capabilities beyond what is possible with the Internet. A critical component for realizing a long-distance quantum network, and ultimately, the Quantum Internet, is the quantum repeater. As with the race to build a scalable quantum computer with different technologies, various schemes exist for building quantum repeaters. This article offers a gentle introduction to the two-way “all-photonic quantum repeaters,” a recent addition to quantum repeater technologies. In contrast to conventional approaches, these repeaters eliminate the need for quantum memories, offering the dual benefits of higher repetition rates and intrinsic tolerance to both quantum operational errors and photon losses. Using visualization and simple rules for manipulating graph states, we describe how all-photonic quantum repeaters work. We discuss the problem of the increased volume of classical communication required by this scheme, which places a huge processing requirement on the end nodes. We address this problem by presenting a solution that decreases the amount of classical communication by three orders of magnitude. We conclude by highlighting other key open challenges in translating the theoretical all-photonic framework into real-world implementation, providing insights into the practical considerations and future research directions of all-photonic quantum repeater technology.
