• Abstract: Multipartite entangled states possess a number of non-intuitive properties, making them a useful resource for various quantum information-processing tasks. The three-qubit W-state is one such example where every state is robust to single-qubit loss. However, this state is not suitable for deterministic distribution, and deterministic communication protocols. Here, we focus on the distribution of a non-symmetric version of such states, namely $W_{\mathrm{mod}}$ states. These states belong to the W-class, and have one ebit of entanglement across a specific bipartition, enabling deterministic teleportation and superdense coding. In particular, we describe a few protocols through which these multipartite entangled states can be distributed {\it deterministically} in a quantum network by first preparing them locally in a central node and then transmitting individual qubits to the end nodes. We analyse the performance of these protocols based on the fidelity of the final distributed state, considering all types of noises that can act during the distribution. Finally, we compare the performance of the protocols to the case where the distribution is performed without any central node.

  The flow of information as well as the percolation of entanglement in a network between the source and target node is an important area of study. In this article we investigate how the concurrence of the final entangled state is connected with the concurrences of the initial entangled states present in a 1-D chain. These results have tremendous future applications in sending quantum information between two quantum processors in remote entangled distribution.

• Transformations in quantum networks via local operations assisted by finitely many rounds of classical communication [0.0]
  Recent advances have led towards first prototypes of quantum networks in which entanglement is distributed by sources producing bipartite entangled states. This raises the question of which states can be generated in quantum networks based on bipartite sources using local operations and classical communication. We study state transformations under finite rounds of local operations and classical communication in networks based on maximally entangled two-qubit states.

  Purifying entanglement resources after their imperfect generation is an indispensable step towards using them in quantum architectures. Here we depart from the typical purification paradigm for multipartite states explored in the last twenty years. We find that smaller sacrificial' states, like Bell pairs, can be more useful in the purification of multipartite states than additional copies of these same states.
