摘要
高效、可靠的纠缠分配是量子网络体系结构的核心。量子最大流概念定义了量子张量网络中有效传输纠缠的上限(Calegari, Freedman, and Walker, Journal of American Mathematical Society, 2010)。尽管最大流量最小切定理的量子模拟一般是无效的,但本文引入了一个精确的量子最大流量最小切定理,该定理适用于由辅助纠缠增强的量子张量网络。具体来说,我们的研究为任何量子张量网络建立了无限的“n”值,其中量子最大流量通过在每个边缘附加一个维度为“n”的最大纠缠态来匹配量子最小切割。我们的协议完全依赖于量子隐形传态,并保证明确的成功。这项工作强调了量子中继器的潜力,通过辅助纠缠,在整个量子网络中有效地分配纠缠。
The Quantum Repeater Network Saturates the Entanglement Distribution Asymptotically
Efficient and reliable entanglement distribution forms the core of quantum network architecture. The Quantum Max-Flow concept defines the upper boundary for efficiently transmitting entanglement within quantum tensor networks (Calegari, Freedman, and Walker, Journal of the American Mathematical Society, 2010). Despite the general invalidity of the Quantum analog of the Max-Flow Min-Cut theorem, this paper introduces a precise Quantum Max-Flow Min-Cut Theorem tailored to quantum tensor networks enhanced by ancilla entanglement. Specifically, our research establishes infinite ‘n’ values for any quantum tensor network, where the Quantum Max-Flow matches the Quantum Min-Cut by attaching a maximally entangled state with dimension ‘n’ to each edge. Our protocol exclusively relies on quantum teleportation and guarantees unambiguous success. This work highlights the potential of quantum repeaters, enabled by ancilla entanglement, to efficiently distribute entanglement throughout quantum networks.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Information Theory is a journal that publishes theoretical and experimental papers concerned with the transmission, processing, and utilization of information. The boundaries of acceptable subject matter are intentionally not sharply delimited. Rather, it is hoped that as the focus of research activity changes, a flexible policy will permit this Transactions to follow suit. Current appropriate topics are best reflected by recent Tables of Contents; they are summarized in the titles of editorial areas that appear on the inside front cover.
