• Authors: Yunzhe Zheng, Hemant Sharma, and Johannes Borregaard
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel protocol based on $2m$-dimensional time-bin photonic qudits. By adopting the qudit protocol, the required qubit memory time is independent of the transmission loss between the nodes. Our protocol can significantly boost the performance of near-term quantum networks.

• Abstract: Generating multiple entangled qubit pairs between distributed nodes is a prerequisite for a future quantum internet. To achieve a practicable generation rate, standard protocols based on photonic qubits require multiple long-term quantum memories, which remains a significant experimental challenge. In this paper, we propose a novel protocol based on $2^m$-dimensional time-bin photonic qudits that allow for the simultaneous generation of multiple ($m$) entangled pairs between two distributed qubit registers and outline a specific implementation of the protocol based on cavity-mediated spin-photon interactions. By adopting the qudit protocol, the required qubit memory time is independent of the transmission loss between the nodes in contrast to standard qubit approaches. As such, our protocol can significantly boost the performance of near-term quantum networks.

  We present a quantum repeater protocol for distributing entanglement over long distances. The protocol leaves the emitters disentangled from the qubits and photons, thus allowing them to be reused to entangle other qubits. It is important to reach a qubit memory coherence time of around one second, and two-qubit gate and measurement errors in the order of $10-3$ to obtain reasonable secret key rates over distances longer than achievable with direct transmission.

• Non-Local Multi-Qubit Quantum Gates via a Driven Cavity [0.0]
  We present two protocols for implementing deterministic non-local multi-qubit quantum gates on qubits coupled to a common cavity mode. The protocols rely only on a classical drive of the cavity modes, while no external drive of the qubits is required. We provide estimates of gate fidelities and durations for atomic and molecular qubits coupled to optical or microwave cavities, and suggest applications for quantum error correction.

We realize the representation of photonic quantum states within truncated Fock spaces in SeQUeNCe. We observe varying fidelity with SPDC source mean photon number, and varying entanglement generation rate with both mean photon number and memory mode number.
