Recursive quantum repeater networks

摘要: Internet-scale quantum repeater networks will be heterogeneous in physical technology, functionality, and management. The classical control necessary to use the network therefore face similar issues as Internet data transmission. Many scalability management problems that arose during development of might have been solved a more uniform fashion, improving flexibility reducing redundant engineering effort. Quantum is currently at stage where we risk duplication when separate systems are combined. We propose unifying framework can used with all existing designs. introduce notion Recursive Network Architecture, developed from emerging concept 'recursive networks', extending recursive mechanisms focus on forwarding general distributed computing request framework. Recursion abstracts independent transit single relay nodes, unifies software layering, virtualizes addresses resources improve information hiding resource Our architecture useful for building arbitrary states, including fundamental states such Bell pairs GHZ, W, cluster states.
