Quantum networks — How they will evolve from the classical ones

Quantum networking is a requirement for distributed quantum computation and any potential future quantum internet. Due to the no-cloning theorem, noiseless amplification is not possible and so a different technique is needed to extend the communication range. Quantum repeaters are a device that distributes entanglement over long distances. This entanglement can then be used to teleport information over the entire network with having to send the information from node to node. However the performance of currently proposed networks is quite limited. In this presentation we present a potential scheme that could be thousands of time faster and which would allow for the direct communication of quantum information.
