• Abstract: Entanglement buffers are systems that maintain high-quality entanglement, ensuring it is readily available for consumption when needed. In this work, we study the performance of a two-node buffer, where each node has one long-lived quantum memory for storing entanglement and multiple short-lived memories for generating fresh entanglement. Newly generated entanglement may be used to purify the stored entanglement, which degrades over time. Stored entanglement may be removed due to failed purification or consumption. We derive analytical expressions for the system performance, which is measured using the entanglement availability and the average fidelity upon consumption. Our solutions are computationally efficient to evaluate, and they provide fundamental bounds to the performance of purification-based entanglement buffers. We show that purification must be performed as frequently as possible to maximise the average fidelity of entanglement upon consumption, even if this often leads to the loss of high-quality entanglement due to purification failures. Moreover, we obtain heuristics for the design of good purification policies in practical systems. A key finding is that simple purification protocols, such as DEJMPS, often provide superior buffering performance compared to protocols that maximize output fidelity.

  We introduce Alternate Experience Replay (AER), which takes advantage of forgetting to maintain a clear distinction between clean, complex, and noisy samples in the memory buffer. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in terms of both accuracy and purity of the obtained buffer, resulting in a remarkable average gain of 4.71% points in accuracy with respect to existing loss-based purification strategies.

  Noise and photon loss encountered on quantum channels pose a major challenge for reliable entanglement generation in quantum networks. In near-term networks, heralding is required to inform endpoints of successfully generated entanglement. We apply optimism to the entanglement pumping scheme, ground- and satellite-based EPR generation sources, and current state-of-the-art purification circuits.

  We exploit the idea of erasure qubits, relying on an efficient conversion of the dominant noise into erasures at known locations. We propose and optimize QEC schemes based on erasure qubits and the recently-introduced Floquet codes. Our results demonstrate that, despite being slightly more complex, QEC schemes based on erasure qubits can significantly outperform standard approaches.

• Entanglement buffering with two quantum memories [0.0]
  Quantum networks crucially rely on the availability of high-quality entangled pairs of qubits, known as entangled links. Maintaining the quality of these links is a challenging task due to the presence of time-dependent noise. Entanglement purification protocols offer a solution by converting multiple low-quality entangled states into a smaller number of higher-quality ones.

  We explore entanglement distribution using quantum repeaters with optimized buffer time. We observe that increasing the number of memories on end nodes leads to a higher entanglement distribution rate per memory. When imperfect operations are considered, however, we make the surprising observation that the per-memory entanglement rate decreases with increasing number of memories.

  Online continual learning aims to adapt efficiently to new data while retaining existing knowledge. Recent work suggests that information retention remains a problem in large scale OCL even when the replay buffer is unlimited. We propose using a moving average family of methods to improve optimization for non-stationary objectives.
