Waiting time in quantum repeaters with probabilistic entanglement swapping
Waiting time in quantum repeaters with probabilistic entanglement swapping
The standard approach to realize a quantum repeater relies upon probabilistic but heralded entangled state manipulations and the storage of quantum states while waiting for successful events. In the literature on this class of repeaters, calculating repeater rates has typically depended on approximations assuming sufficiently small probabilities. Here we propose …
