ABSTRACT
A fundamental challenge in generating and distributing high-fidelity entanglement in quantum repeater networks is the management and suppression of quantum errors. In this work, we develop an approach for extending the effective coherence time of shared entanglement between nodes by utilizing compact quantum error correcting (QEC) codes, which are scheduled and run locally on resource-constrained repeaters, to maximize the fidelity of the shared state, while also accounting for the incurred gate noise from QEC circuit operations. This local QEC approach stabilizes the distributed state via local operations, so independent execution on the nodes requires no additional synchronization or protocol overhead. Simulation results show significant improvements in the effective coherence time relative to idle decay, suggesting this approach could be useful in several quantum networking protocols such as entanglement generation, swapping, purification, and teleportation.

Effects of quantum error correction on entanglement sudden death
We investigate the effects of error correction on non-local quantum coherence as a function of time, extending the study by Sainz and Björk [1]. We consider error correction of amplitude damping, pure phase damping and combinations of amplitude and ...
A quantum repeater based on decoherence free subspaces
We study a quantum repeater which is based on decoherence free quantum gates recently proposed by Klein et al. [Phys. Rev. A, 73, 012332 (2006)]. A number of operations on the decoherence free subspace in this scheme makes use of an ancilla qubit, which ...

Entanglement purification takes a number of noisy EPR pairs |00>+|11> and processes them to produce a smaller number of more reliable pairs. If this is done with only a forward classical side channel, the procedure is equivalent to using a quantum error-...
