Quantum entanglement management for quantum informatics

Abstract

A control system for a network of quantum systems operates the network to perform quantum informatics processing. The control system includes an entanglement scheduler configured to identify operations for which entanglement of two or more of the quantum systems is desired, identify plural potential entanglement attempts for generating the entanglement; and schedule at least some of the potential entanglement attempts to be performed to generate the entanglement for at least one of the operations. The entanglement scheduler may use direct entanglement, entanglement swapping and/or quantum teleportation approaches to generate the entanglement. The entanglement scheduler may schedule probabilistic entanglement attempts based at least in part on the probability of success of the entanglement attempts. The entanglement scheduler may generate entanglement to support plural branches of a quantum informatics process and/or to respond to events occurring while the quantum informatics process is executing.
