Quantum networking, and with it the quantum Internet, rely on the management and exploitation of entanglement. In fact, entangled qubits enable fundamental quantum communication primitives such as teleportation and superdense coding. Practical sources of entangled qubits, such as single-photon detection, are imperfect, producing mixed states with reduced fidelity as compared to ideal, fully entangled, Bell pairs. In order to enhance the fidelity of entangled qubits available at distributed parties, entanglement distillation protocols leverage local operations and classical communication (LOCC). While existing solutions, such as DEJMPS protocol [1] and LOCCNet [2], assume ideal classical communications, we study the case in which communications between the parties holding imperfectly entangled qubits are noisy. As illustrated in Fig. 1, to address this more challenging scenario, we propose the use of quantum machine learning (QML) [3] via parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs).<\/p>\n

Noise Aware-LOCCNet (NA-LOCCNet)<\/h2>\n

In our recent work<\/a>, accepted for presentation at IEEE ICASSP 2023<\/a>, we introduce NA-LOCCNet, as shown in Fig. 2, which improves average output fidelity while accounting for the channel errors.<\/p>\n

Experiments<\/h2>\n

Fig.3 plots average output fidelity as a function of bit-flip probability of noisy channel for a given input fidelity, whereas Fig. 4 plots the same quantity as a function of input fidelity for a given bit flip probability of noisy channel. In both the figures NA-LOCCNet performs far better than the state of the art protocols.<\/p>\n

In our another recent work<\/a>, published in Entropy<\/a>, we have extended the NA-LOCCNet framework to the problem of quantum state discrimination.<\/p>\n
