Assessing the performance of quantum repeaters for all phase-insensitive Gaussian bosonic channels

Abstract: One of the most sought-after goals in experimental quantum communication is the implementation of a quantum repeater. The performance of quantum repeaters can be assessed by comparing the attained rate with the quantum and private capacity of direct transmission, assisted by unlimited classical two-way communication. However, these quantities are hard to compute, motivating the search for upper bounds. Takeoka, Guha and Wilde found the squashed entanglement of a quantum channel to be an upper bound on both the… Show more

“…Due to the fact that squashed entanglement is an upper bound on the rate at which secret key can be distilled from an isotropic state [CEH+07,Wil16], as well as the above protocols being particular protocols for secret key distillation, squashed entanglement is also an upper bound on the rate at which the secret key can be distilled in one-SDI and device-independent protocols. However, the upper bound on squashed entanglement of an isotropic state that we obtain after choosing the extension as given in [GEW16] is greater than the bound obtained on intrinsic steerability of the assemblage considered above. Therefore, we do not plot the squashedentanglement bounds in figure 3 or 4.…”

“…We have just begun to grasp full implications of our bound (1): for instance, its tighter version for specific channels like Pirandola's one37 or with deriving a better bound52 for the squashed entanglement of the channel, its applications to the many-body quantum physics in any spacetime topology regarded as a quantum network1 and to a more complicated quantum communication channel network—such as a multi-party protocol with broadcasting channels535455—will be in a fair way to appear.…”
