This study introduces a quantum repeater protocol for secure long-distance quantum communication. The method achieves high fidelity entanglement distribution and storage, enabling faster and more reliable quantum networks.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum communication
  • Quantum information science
  • Quantum networking

Background:

  • Quantum communication relies on distributing entanglement, which is challenging over long distances due to noise and loss.
  • Existing quantum repeater protocols often face limitations in efficiency, fidelity, and scalability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel quantum repeater protocol for efficient and high-fidelity long-distance quantum communication.
  • To demonstrate the feasibility of using weak light-matter interactions and nuclear-spin quantum memories for robust entanglement distribution.

Main Methods:

  • Entanglement generation between remote qubits using weak dispersive light-matter interactions.
  • Distribution of coherent-light pulses among intermediate stations for entanglement creation.

  • Preparation of entangled electronic spin pairs with high success probability via homodyne detection and postselection.
  • Deterministic, measurement-free local gates for entanglement purification and swapping.
  • Storage of entanglement in nuclear-spin-based quantum memories.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved qubit-communication rates approaching 100 Hz over 1280 km.
    • Demonstrated high fidelities near 99% for entanglement distribution.
    • Protocol is robust to reasonable local gate errors.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed quantum repeater protocol offers a promising solution for scalable and high-performance long-distance quantum communication.
    • The integration of weak interactions, coherent-light resources, and nuclear-spin memories enables efficient and reliable entanglement distribution.
    • This work paves the way for building practical quantum networks with unprecedented capabilities.
