Analysing the Effect of Asymmetry on the Performance of Atomic Ensemble Based Repeater Protocols

There has been a lot of research focused on the next generation of the internet, the so-called quantum networks. This analysis has been so far limited to mostly symmetrical architectures, but any near-term realisations of quantum networks using existing fibre topologies will contain asymmetry. In this thesis, we investigate how midpoint...

Testing Framework For Networked Quantum Applications

Quantum software development is the process of conceiving, specifying, designing, programming, documenting, and testing executable quantum programs that are meant to run on practical quantum hardware. Even though quantum software development research has gained traction over the years, it is still mainly focused on problem analysis, language...

Recurrence Based Purification of Qudit Graph States

Preparation of multi-partite entangled quantum states under realistic experimental conditions invariably results in states with non-unit fidelity to the target state. Purification protocols address the need for higher fidelity states than what can be directly prepared. These protocols consume several noisy input states and return an output state...
