Characterizing arbitrary quantum networks in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum era

Abstract
Quantum networks are of high interest nowadays. In short, they describe the distribution of quantum sources represented by edges to different parties represented by nodes in the networks. Bundles of tools have been developed recently to characterize quantum states from the network in the ideal case. However, features of quantum networks in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era invalidate most of them and call for feasible tools. By utilizing purity, covariance, and topology of quantum networks, we provide a systematic approach to tackle with arbitrary quantum networks in the NISQ era, which can be noisy, intermediate-scale, random, and sparse. One application of our method is to witness the progress of essential elements in quantum networks, like the quality of multipartite entangled sources and quantum memory.
