Optimising physical parameters of a quantum network based on a loss-jitter trade-off

Quantum Physics 2025-11-03 v1

Abstract

As quantum communication systems and networks are becoming a commercial reality, clarity on their future infrastructure is increasingly important. Based on the inevitable presence of some amount of loss, chromatic dispersion, and timing jitter, we present simulations to show that certain wavelengths and bandwidths have clear advantages.
