A resource- and computationally-efficient protocol for multipartite entanglement distribution in Bell-pair networks

Multipartite entangled states, such as Greenberger--Horne--Zeilinger (GHZ) states, are important resources in multiparty quantum networking tasks. We consider protocols for generating such states from networks of Bell pairs and local operations and classical communication. We present a computationally-efficient protocol for generating GHZ states that is also efficient with respect to the number of consumed Bell pairs, (local) gates, and Bell-pair sources. Our protocol: (1) requires $O(N)$ gates in a network with $N$ nodes, independent of the network topology; (2) has time complexity $O(N^2)$, avoiding the Steiner tree and any other computationally-hard problem; (3) maintains a near-optimal number of consumed Bell pairs. Numerically, our protocol outperforms those based on (approximate) Steiner trees with respect to number of gates and Bell-pair sources. We prove that the minimal Bell-pair source cost is given by solving the graph-theoretic dominating set problem, and we demonstrate numerically that our protocol is nearly optimal for this quantity. Finally, we analytically characterize the impact of noisy Bell pairs and gates on the fidelity of the distributed GHZ states.

Bosonic quantum error correction with microwave cavities for quantum repeaters

Long-distance quantum communication necessitates the use of quantum repeaters, which typically include highly coherent quantum memories. We provide a theoretical analysis of the secret key rates for a quantum repeater system incorporating bosonic error correction and memory components. Specifically, we focus on the application of Binomial codes for two repeater segments. Using these codes, our investigation aims to suppress memory loss errors that commonly affect systems such as atoms and microwave cavities, in contrast to dephasing errors in single-spin memories. We further discuss a physical implementation of such a quantum repeater comprising a microwave cavity and a superconducting transmon, capable of state engineering with high fidelities ($>97\%$) and logical Bell state measurements for successful entanglement swapping. As an alternative approach, we also discuss a realization in the all-optical domain.

Shallow-depth GHZ state generation on NISQ devices

In this work, we focus on GHZ state generation under the practical constraint of limited qubit connectivity, a hallmark of current NISQ hardware. We study the GHZ state preparation across different connectivity graphs inspired by IBM and Google chip architectures, as well as random graphs that reflect distributed quantum systems. Our approach is a measurement-based protocol designed to utilize qubit connectivity constraints for the generation of GHZ states on NISQ devices. We benchmark this against a tailored version of state-of-the-art unitary-based protocols, also incorporating physical connectivity limitations. To evaluate the performance of the protocols under realistic conditions, we conducted implementations on the IBM Eagle r3 chip. Additionally, to explore near-term scalability, we performed simulations across a range of graph sizes and connectivity configurations, assessing performance based on circuit depth, the number of two-qubit gates, and measurement overhead. We observe a trade-off between the two protocols across different figures of merit. For current state-of-the-art NISQ architectures, the unitary-based protocol is more suitable, as it avoids mid-circuit measurements and classical feedforward. However, the measurement-based protocol is expected to become more advantageous in the future with more error-resilient quantum devices, owing to its reduced circuit depth and consequently shorter execution times. In both settings, our proposed method provides an efficient means of leveraging the topology of qubit connections available on a given device.
