Project title:

Beyond Entangled Pairs: Quantum Correlations in Networks.

Summary:

Quantum technologies have been rapidly developing and proving their merit in the last decades. Advantages of employing quantum systems have been demonstrated for a variety of tasks, such as communication, computation, and cryptographic security. Many of these advantages are rooted in a property called quantum entanglement. Currently, the distribution of pairs of quantum systems that carry entanglement over short distances is a well mastered technique. However, production of entanglement shared by many systems and distributed over long distances remains a technological challenge. The goal of this project is to develop the theoretical tools that will allow us to take advantage of the available technology that produces entangled pairs and use them as building blocks of a fully-connected, long-distance quantum network. Such networks would then be able to carry out of sophisticated, many-party quantum information processing protocols.
