Delayed Commutation in Quantum Computer Networks
Juan Carlos García-Escartín, Pedro Chamorro‐Posada · Physical Review Letters · 2006
In the same way that classical computer networks connect and enhance the capabilities of classical computers, quantum networks can combine the advantages of quantum information and communication. We propose a nonclassical network element, a delayed commutation switch, that can solve the problem of switching time in packet switching networks. With the help of some local ancillary qubits and superdense codes, we can route a qubit packet after part of it has left the network node.
