• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: We present a quantum repeater protocol for distributing entanglement over long distances, where each repeater node contains several qubits that can couple to one single-photon emitter. Photons from the emitters perform heralded entanglement generation between qubits in neighboring nodes. The protocol leaves the emitters disentangled from the qubits and photons, thus allowing them to be reused to entangle other qubits. The protocol can therefore be time multiplexed, which increases the rate of generated EPR pairs. Deterministic entanglement swapping and heralded entanglement purification are used to extend the distance of the entanglement and reduce the error of the entangled qubits, respectively. We perform a complete protocol analysis by considering all relevant error sources, such as initialization, two-qubit gate, and qubit measurement errors, as well as the exponential decoherence of the qubits with time. The latter is particularly important since we analyze the protocol performance for a broad range of experimental parameters and obtain secret key rates ranging from $1 \rightarrow 1000$ Hz at a distance of $1000$ km. Our results suggest that 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.

  We introduce a single protocol to measure the dispersive shift, resonator linewidth, and drive power used in the dispersive readout of superconducting qubits. We find that the resonator linewidth is poorly controlled with a factor of 2 between the maximum and minimum measured values. We also introduce a protocol for measuring the readout system efficiency using the same power levels as are used in typical qubit readout.

  We propose a novel strategy of using the bosonic Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill code in a two-way repeater architecture with multiplexing. GKP qubits easily admit deterministic two-qubit gates, hence allowing for multiplexing without the need for generating large cluster states. We show that long-distance quantum communication over more than 1000 km is possible even with less than 13 dB of GKP squeezing.
