Attenuation in optical fibers means that it is necessary to use quantum repeaters as an element in future communication networks. Without them, the rate at which photons can be successfully sent through a long fiber is too low to send complex states. To overcome the nondeterministic nature of successful transmission events, memories must be used to store photons that correspond to successful entanglement swapping operations (1). A number of approaches to achieving ...
