Continuous Variable Quantum Repeaters

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

We propose a quantum repeater for continuous variable (CV) quantum optical states. Our repeater relies on an error correction protocol for loss on CV states based on CV teleportation and entanglement distillation via noiseless linear amplification. The error correction protocol is concatenated to preserve the same effective transmission coefficient for the quantum channel over increasing distance. The probability of successful operation of the repeater scales polynomially with distance. However, the protocol is limited by a trade-off between fidelity and probability of success.
