• Abstract: Distributing entanglement over long distances remains a challenge due to its fragility when exposed to environmental effects. In this work, we compare various entanglement distribution protocols in a realistic noisy fiber network. We focus specifically on two schemes that only require the sending of a non-entangled carrier photon to remote nodes of the network. These protocols rely on optical CNOT gates and we vary the probability with which they can be successfully performed. Encoding our entangled states in photon polarization, we analyse the effect of depolarizing noise on the photonic states as the carrier passes through the fibers. Building a robust model of photon loss and calculating the distillable entanglement of the noisy states, we find the entanglement distribution rate. We discover that methods involving a separable carrier can reach a higher rate than the standard entanglement distribution protocol, provided that the success probability of the optical CNOT gates is sufficiently high.

• Metropolitan-scale Entanglement Distribution with Co-existing Quantum and Classical Signals in a single fiber [0.0]
  Development of prototype metropolitan-scale quantum networks involves transmitting quantum information via deployed optical fibers. One approach addressing these challenges is to co-propagate classical probe signals in the same fiber as the quantum signal. Here, we demonstrate the distribution of polarization entangled quantum signals co-propagating with the White Rabbit Precision Time Protocol (WR-PTP) classical signals in the same single-core fiber strand at metropolitan-scale distances.

  We propose a DLCZ-like scheme based on the noiseless photon echo in rare-earth ion-doped crystals. Correlated photon pairs with a controllable delay can be created by the direct optical rephasing. This protocol could be feasibly implemented to establish long-lived quantum correlations between a photon and a spin-wave excitation in rare-earth ion-doped crystals.
