In distributed quantum storage, physical qubits of a code will be stored across the network. When qubits in one of the nodes are lost i.e. when the node is erased, the remaining nodes need to communicate with a new node to replace the lost…

The maximum rate at which classical information can be reliably transmitted per use of a quantum channel strictly increases in general with $N$, the number of channel outputs that are detected jointly by the quantum joint-detection receiver…
Quick detection of transmittance changes in optical channel is crucial for secure communication. We demonstrate that pre-shared entanglement using two-mode squeezed vacuum states significantly reduces detection latency compared to classical…
Quantum entanglement cannot be unlimitedly shared among arbitrary number of qubits. Larger the number of entangled pairs in an N-qubit system, smaller the degree of bi-partite entanglement is. We analyze a system of N qubits in which an…
