(author), Torres-Knoop, Ariana (author), Wehner, S.D.C. (author)We numerically study the distribution of entanglement between the Dutch cities of Delft and Eindhoven realized with a processing-node quantum repeater and determine minimal hardware requirements for verifiable blind quantum computation using color centers and trapped ions. Our results are obtained considering restrictions imposed by a real...journal article 2023

Horta Ferreira da Silva, F. (author), Torres-Knoop, Ariana (author), Coopmans, T.J. (author), Maier, D.J. (author), Wehner, S.D.C. (author)Long-distance quantum communication via entanglement distribution is of great importance for the quantum internet. However, scaling up to such long distances has proved challenging due to the loss of photons, which grows exponentially with the distance covered. Quantum repeaters could in theory be used to extend the distances over which...journal article 2021

(author)In order to bring quantum networks into the real world, we would like to determine the requirements of quantum network protocols including the underlying quantum hardware. Because detailed architecture proposals are generally too complex for mathematical analysis, it is natural to employ numerical simulation. Here we introduce NetSquid, the...journal article 2021
