• Abstract: There are various approaches to long-range quantum communication based on conceptually different forms of quantum repeaters. Here we explore a quantum repeater scheme that employs quantum error correction (QEC) both on the flying (light) qubits and on the stationary (matter) qubits. The idea is to combine the benefits of encoded one-way and two-way schemes where effective channel transmission and loss scaling are enhanced by means of photon loss codes and encoded quantum memories, respectively, while sacrificing some of their advantages such as high clock rates, independent of classical communication times (one-way), and potentially large segment lengths (two-way). More specifically, we illustrate, propose, and analyze such a quantum repeater using the bosonic Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) code which naturally enables encoding and QEC of qudits, protecting them against transmission and memory loss, the latter, for instance, occuring on collective spin modes of atomic ensembles. While the encoded one-way and two-way schemes on their own either require very high repeater link coupling efficiencies and GKP squeezing or allow for experimentally more feasible, small values of these parameters, respectively, we find that there are intermediate parameter regimes where the combined repeater protocol is superior.

We analyze and assess the performance of such a GKP-based quantum repeater where, apart from the initial state generations and distributions, all operations can be performed via deterministic linear mode transformations.

  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.
