• Abstract summary: We develop a protocol for entanglement generation in the quantum internet. It allows a repeater node to use $n$-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger measurements. We prove that this powerful network property is not possible to attain with any quantum networking protocol built with Bell measurements and multiplexing alone.

• Abstract: We develop a protocol for entanglement generation in the quantum internet that allows a repeater node to use $n$-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) projective measurements that can fuse $n$ successfully-entangled {\em links}, i.e., two-qubit entangled Bell pairs shared across $n$ network edges, incident at that node. Implementing $n$-fusion, for $n \ge 3$, is in principle not much harder than $2$-fusions (Bell-basis measurements) in solid-state qubit memories. If we allow even $3$-fusions at the nodes, we find---by developing a connection to a modified version of the site-bond percolation problem---that despite lossy (hence probabilistic) link-level entanglement generation, and probabilistic success of the fusion measurements at nodes, one can generate entanglement between end parties Alice and Bob at a rate that stays constant as the distance between them increases. We prove that this powerful network property is not possible to attain with any quantum networking protocol built with Bell measurements and multiplexing alone. We also design a two-party quantum key distribution protocol that converts the entangled states shared between two nodes into a shared secret, at a key generation rate that is independent of the distance between the two parties.

  In a quantum network that successfully creates links, shared Bell states between neighboring repeater nodes, with probability $p$ in each time slot, and perform Bell State Measurements at nodes with success probability $q1$, the end to end entanglement generation rate drops exponentially with the distance between consumers. We extend this protocol to incorporate a time-multiplexing blocklength $k$, the number of time slots over which a repeater can mix-and-match successful links to perform fusion on. As $(p,q)$ increases, one can approach the ultimate min-cut entanglement generation capacity of $d$
