Classical Internet evolved exceptionally during the last five decades, from a network
comprising a few static nodes in the early days to a leviathan interconnecting billions of …

Quantum networks will enable the implementation of communication tasks with qualitative
advantages with respect to the communication networks known today. While it is expected …

Quantum repeaters are nodes in a quantum communication network that allow reliable
transmission of entanglement over large distances. It was recently shown that highly …

We present a stack model for breaking down the complexity of entanglement-based
quantum networks. More specifically, we focus on the structures and architectures of …

We study the performance (rate and fidelity) of distributing multipartite entangled states in a
quantum network through the use of a central node. Specifically, we consider the scenario …

Before global-scale quantum networks become operational, it is important to consider how
to evaluate their performance so that they can be built to achieve the desired performance …

A cold atomic ensemble suits well for optical quantum memories, and its entanglement with
a single photon forms the building block for quantum networks that give promise for many …

Quantum communication between distant parties is based on suitable instances of shared
entanglement. For efficiency reasons, in an anticipated quantum network beyond point-to …
