Abstract

Abstract : The quantum network is an indispensable step toward multiuser and wide-area information interchange in the course of the development of quantum technology. When designing and deploying a quantum network, availability, robustness, flexibility, and expenditure need to be considered in a balanced way. In this article, we propose a network connected through optical switches, QNUS, that requires only terminals in the number of nodes in a quantum network, which is a great saving of resources.
