Quantum communication without the necessity of quantum memories
Open accessAbstract
Quantum physics is known to allow for completely new ways to create, manipulate and store information. Quantum communication—the ability to transmit quantum information—is a primitive necessary for any quantum internet. At its core, quantum communication generally requires the formation of entangled links between remote locations. The performance of these links is limited by the classical signalling time between such locations, necessitating the need for long-lived quantum memories. Here, we present the design of a communications network that neither requires the establishment of entanglement between remote locations nor the use of long-lived quantum memories. The rate at which quantum data can be transmitted along the network is only limited by the time required to perform efficient local gate operations. Our scheme therefore has the potential to provide higher communications rates than previously thought possible. Researchers propose a design of quantum communication based on directly transmitting quantum information in encoded form across a network. Involving no teleportation, the scheme does not require entangled links between nodes and long-lived quantum memories. It potentially provides higher communication rates than existing entanglement-based schemes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
