Statistical properties of the quantum internet
arXiv:1911.05445 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.124.210501
Abstract
Steady technological advances are paving the way for the implementation of the quantum internet, a network of locations interconnected by quantum channels. Here we propose a model to simulate a quantum internet based on optical fibers and employ network-theory techniques to characterize the statistical properties of the photonic networks it generates. Our model predicts a continuous phase transition between a disconnected and a highly-connected phase characterized by the computation of critical exponents. Moreover we show that, although the networks do not present the small world property, the average distance between nodes is typically small.
