Quantum repeater with encoding. Physical Review A 79(3): 032325.1050-2947http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:5345667We propose an approach to implement quantum repeaters for long-distance quantum communication. Our protocol generates a backbone of encoded Bell pairs and uses the procedure of classical error correction during simultaneous entanglement connection. We illustrate that the repeater protocol with simple Calderbank-Shor-Steane encoding can significantly extend the communication distance, while still maintaining a fast key generation rate.en-USJournal Article2011-11-1510.1103/PhysRevA.79.032325
