Background:

Fully connected quantum networks utilize wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) for quantum information distribution.
Existing entanglement-based networks face scalability challenges due to finite spectrum resources, requiring numerous wavelength channels for multiple users.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and demonstrate a scheme for a WDM entanglement-based quantum network using a state-multiplexing quantum light source.
To overcome scalability limitations in current quantum network architectures.

Main Methods:

Utilized a state-multiplexing quantum light source with a dual-pump configuration.
Employed a silicon nitride microring resonator chip to generate state-multiplexing photon pairs across multiple wavelength channels.
Established a fully connected network graph connecting four users.

Main Results:

Successfully generated state-multiplexing photon pairs at multiple wavelengths.
Demonstrated a fully connected network using six wavelength channels, halving the requirement without compromising security or performance.
Achieved a total asymptotic secure key rate of 1946.9 bps using the BBM92 protocol.

Conclusions:

The proposed state-multiplexing approach significantly enhances the scalability of WDM entanglement-based quantum networks.
This method minimizes infrastructure requirements, paving the way for more practical and widespread quantum network development.
