The reliable transmission of quantum information over noisy quantum channels is one of the major problems of quantum communication and quantum information processing. One of the main obstacles for high‐fidelity transmission over large distances is the exponential scaling of channel noise and absorption with the distance. Since quantum signals can neither be cloned (1) nor amplified (2), standard techniques from classical communication technology (such as amplification ...
