• Abstract: Entanglement is a key resource in quantum communication, but bipartite schemes are often insufficient for advanced protocols like quantum secret sharing or distributed computing. Graph states offer a flexible way to represent and manage multipartite entanglement in quantum networks, enabling logical connectivity through local operations and classical communication (LOCC). In this work, we extend existing approaches based on bi-star configurations to more complex multi-star topologies. We analyze the maximum connectivity that can be achieved in networks of $m$ switches, each connected to $n$ clients, including asymmetric cases where the number of clients varies per switch. We also propose methods to enable logical communication between distant nodes. Our results support the development of scalable quantum networks with rich connectivity beyond traditional bipartite structures.

  Entanglement between quantum network nodes is often produced using intermediary devices - such as heralding stations - as a resource. Here, we propose a cost-effective architecture to connect many quantum network nodes via a central quantum network hub called an Entanglement Generation Switch (EGS) The EGS allows multiple quantum nodes to be connected at a fixed resource cost, by sharing the resources needed to make entanglement.

  Quantum communications bring a paradigm change in internet security by using quantum resources to establish secure keys between parties.
