Dynamic LOCC Circuits for Automated Entanglement Manipulation

Abstract

Due to the limited qubit number of quantum devices, distributed quantum computing is considered a promising pathway to overcome this constraint. In this paradigm, multiple quantum processors are interconnected to form a cohesive computational network, and the most natural set of free operations is local operations and classical communication (LOCC). However, designing a practical LOCC protocol for a particular task has been a tough problem. In this work, we propose a general and flexible framework called dynamic LOCCNet (DLOCCNet) to simulate and design LOCC protocols. We demonstrate its effectiveness in two key applications: entanglement distillation and distributed state discrimination. The protocols designed by DLOCCNet, in contrast to conventional ones, can solve larger-sized problems with reduced training time, making the framework a practical and scalable tool for current quantum devices. This work advances our understanding of the capabilities and limitations of LOCC while providing a powerful methodology for protocol design.
