Routing and Spectrum Allocation in Broadband Degenerate EPR-Pair Distribution (2311.14613v4)
Published 24 Nov 2023 in cs.NI
Abstract: We investigate resource allocation for quantum entanglement distribution over an optical network. We characterize and model a network architecture that employs a single quasideterministic time-frequency heralded EPR-pair source, and develop a routing scheme for distributing entangled photon pairs over such a network. We focus on fairness in entanglement distribution, and compare both the performance of various spectrum allocation schemes as well as their Jain index.
