• Abstract: Complex quantum networks can support a diverse set of long-range entanglement distribution schemes ranging from linear repeater protocols to multipath entanglement purification strategies. As a result, a network's resourcefulness, that is its ability to facilitate quantum communication, depends on the deployed distribution scheme. In this work, we analyse and compare the resourcefulness of quantum networks across a broad range of network topologies, including both regular and random networks, under two distinct entanglement distribution schemes. The first relies on entanglement swapping along a single path connecting a source-target pair, while the second exploits entanglement purification using multiple paths between the same source and target nodes. The resourcefulness of the network is quantified using a recently described metric [1] that averages over the maximum teleportation fidelity between arbitrary source-target pairs in the network. We present algorithms for estimating this metric under constraints of edge-usage and ordering of paths. Our results not only demonstrate the sensitivity of the average maximum teleportation fidelity metric to the choice of entanglement distribution protocol, but also highlight the significant improvements enabled by network purification schemes. In particular, purification-based approaches can substantially enhance average teleportation fidelity, thereby improving the overall teleportation capability of quantum networks.
