Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a systematic method for optimizing existing quantum repeater protocols.
  • To develop more efficient quantum repeater protocols for practical applications.
  • To improve the speed and fidelity of preparing long-distance entangled states.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a dynamic programming-based searching algorithm.
