• Abstract summary: This work advances the Memory-Source-Memory (MSM) link architecture, addressing the absence of practical implementation details. We conduct numerical simulations using the Quantum Internet Simulation Package (QuISP) to analyze the performance of the MSM link. We observe a saturation effect in the MSM link, where additional quantum resources do not affect the Bell pair generation rate of the link.

• Abstract: Quantum repeater networks play a crucial role in distributing entanglement. Various link architectures have been proposed to facilitate the creation of Bell pairs between distant nodes, with entangled photon sources emerging as a primary technology for building quantum networks. Our work advances the Memory-Source-Memory (MSM) link architecture, addressing the absence of practical implementation details. We conduct numerical simulations using the Quantum Internet Simulation Package (QuISP) to analyze the performance of the MSM link and contrast it with other link architectures. We observe a saturation effect in the MSM link, where additional quantum resources do not affect the Bell pair generation rate of the link. By introducing a theoretical model, we explain the origin of this effect and characterize the parameter region where it occurs. Our work bridges theoretical insights with practical implementation, which is crucial for robust and scalable quantum networks.

  We propose a best-effort quantum network architecture based on packet-switching, akin to that of the classical Internet. As an illustration, we tailor and adapt classical congestion control and active queue management protocols to quantum networks. Results show that these classical networking tools can be effectively used to combat quantum memory decoherence and keep end-to-end fidelity around a target value.

  We investigate the integration of two inherently different technologies, with one link where the photons flow from the nodes toward a device in the middle of the link, and a different link where pairs of photons flow from a device in the middle towards the nodes. We find that increasing the pulse rate can actually decrease the overall performance. Their performance is highly dependent on link configuration, but we observe no significant decrease in generation rate compared to homogeneous networks.

  We propose quantum graph convolutional networks (QuanGCN), which learns the local message passing among nodes with the sequence of crossing-gate quantum operations. To mitigate the inherent noises from modern quantum devices, we apply sparse constraint to sparsify the nodes' connections. Our QuanGCN is functionally comparable or even superior than the classical algorithms on several benchmark graph datasets.
