Entanglement Availability Differentiation Service for the Quantum Internet

A fundamental concept of the quantum Internet is quantum entanglement. In a quantum Internet scenario where the legal users of the network have different priority levels or where a differentiation of entanglement availability between the users is a necessity, an entanglement availability service is essential. Here we define the entanglement availability differentiation (EAD) service for the quantum Internet. In the proposed EAD framework, the differentiation is either made in the amount of entanglement with respect to the relative entropy of entanglement associated with the legal users, or in the time domain with respect to the amount of time that is required to establish a maximally entangled system between the legal parties. The framework provides an efficient and easily-implementable solution for the differentiation of entanglement availability in experimental quantum networking scenarios.Comment: 18 pages, Journal-ref: Scientific Report

Topology Adaption for the Quantum Internet

In the quantum repeater networks of the quantum Internet, the varying stability of entangled quantum links makes dynamic topology adaption an emerging issue. Here we define an efficient topology adaption method for quantum repeater networks. The model assumes the random failures of entangled links and several parallel demands from legal users. The shortest path defines a set of entangled links for which the probability of stability is above a critical threshold. The scheme is utilized in a base-graph of the overlay quantum network to provide an efficient shortest path selection for the demands of all users of the network. We study the problem of entanglement assignment in a quantum repeater network, prove its computational complexity, and show an optimization procedure. The results are particularly convenient for future quantum networking, quantum-Internet, and experimental long-distance quantum communications.Comment: 17 pages, Journal-ref: Quant. Inf. Proc. (2018

Optimal Remote Qubit Teleportation Using Node2vec

Much research work is done on implementing quantum teleportation and entanglement swapping for remote entanglement. Due to dynamical topological changes in quantum networks, nodes have to construct the shortest paths every time they want to communicate with a remote neighbour. But due to the entanglement failures remote entanglement establishment is still a challenging task. Also as the nodes know only about their neighbouring nodes computing optimal paths between source and remote nodes is time consuming too. In finding the next best neighbour in the optimal path between a given source and remote nodes so as to decrease the entanglement cost, deep learning techniques can be applied. In this paper we defined throughput of the quantum network as the maximum qubits transmitted with minimum entanglement cost. Much of research work is done to improve the throughput of the quantum network using the deep learning techniques. In this paper we adopted deep learning techniques for implementing remote entanglement between two non-neighbour nodes using remote qubit teleportation and entanglement swapping. The proposed method called Optimal Remote Qubit Teleportation outperforms the throughput obtained by the state of art approach

Decentralized Base-Graph Routing for the Quantum Internet

Quantum repeater networks are a fundamental of any future quantum Internet and long-distance quantum communications. The entangled quantum nodes can communicate through several different levels of entanglement, leading to a heterogeneous, multi-level network structure. The level of entanglement between the quantum nodes determines the hop distance and the probability of the existence of an entangled link in the network. Here, we define a decentralized routing for entangled quantum networks. The proposed method allows an efficient routing to find the shortest paths in entangled quantum networks by using only local knowledge of the quantum nodes. We give bounds on the maximum value of the total number of entangled links of a path. The proposed scheme can be directly applied in practical quantum communications and quantum networking scenarios.Comment: 13 pages, Journal-ref: Phys. Rev.
