Entanglement Availability Differentiation Service for the Quantum Internet

A fundamental concept of the quantum Internet is quantum entanglement. In a quantum Internet scenario where the legal users of the network have different priority levels or where a differentiation of entanglement availability between the users is a necessity, an entanglement availability service is essential. Here we define the entanglement availability differentiation (EAD) service for the quantum Internet. In the proposed EAD framework, the differentiation is either made in the amount of entanglement with respect to the relative entropy of entanglement associated with the legal users, or in the time domain with respect to the amount of time that is required to establish a maximally entangled system between the legal parties. The framework provides an efficient and easily-implementable solution for the differentiation of entanglement availability in experimental quantum networking scenarios.Comment: 18 pages, Journal-ref: Scientific Report

Topology Adaption for the Quantum Internet

In the quantum repeater networks of the quantum Internet, the varying stability of entangled quantum links makes dynamic topology adaption an emerging issue. Here we define an efficient topology adaption method for quantum repeater networks. The model assumes the random failures of entangled links and several parallel demands from legal users. The shortest path defines a set of entangled links for which the probability of stability is above a critical threshold. The scheme is utilized in a base-graph of the overlay quantum network to provide an efficient shortest path selection for the demands of all users of the network. We study the problem of entanglement assignment in a quantum repeater network, prove its computational complexity, and show an optimization procedure. The results are particularly convenient for future quantum networking, quantum-Internet, and experimental long-distance quantum communications.Comment: 17 pages, Journal-ref: Quant. Inf. Proc. (2018

Private Quantum Coding for Quantum Relay Networks

The relay encoder is an unreliable probabilistic device which is aimed at helping the communication between the sender and the receiver. In this work we show that in the quantum setting the probabilistic behavior can be completely eliminated. We also show how to combine quantum polar encoding with superactivation-assistance in order to achieve reliable and capacity-achieving private communication over noisy quantum relay channels.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figures, Journal-ref: Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Vol. 7479, pp. 239-250.

A Tight Bound for Probability of Error for Quantum Counting Based Multiuser Detection

Future wired and wireless communication systems will employ pure or combined Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technique, such as in the European 3G mobile UMTS or Power Line Telecommunication system, but also several 4G proposal includes e.g. multi carrier (MC) CDMA. Former examinations carried out the drawbacks of single user detectors (SUD), which are widely employed in narrowband IS-95 CDMA systems, and forced to develop suitable multiuser detection schemes to increase the efficiency against interference. However, at this moment there are only suboptimal solutions available because of the rather high complexity of optimal detectors. One of the possible receiver technologies can be the quantum assisted computing devices which allows high level parallelism in computation. The first commercial devices are estimated for the next years, which meets the advert of 3G and 4G systems. In this paper we analyze the error probability and give tight bounds in a static and dynamically changing environment for a novel quantum computation based Quantum Multiuser detection (QMUD) algorithm, employing quantum counting algorithm, which provides optimal solution.Comment: presented at IEEE ISIT 2002, 7 pages, 2 figure

Survival analysis of culling reasons and economic examination of production period in sow culling

The culling of the sows is an important task of the breeders and farmers, besides it is a determining factor of profitable pork production. During our research we have surveyed the data of 1969 sows in a Hungarian large-scale pig farm. For the calculation of our results we used one of the non-parametric forms of survival analysis, the Kaplan-Meier analysis. For the quantification of death intensity we applied another survival analysis model, the log-rate exponential model. We have found out the risk values of various culling reasons form the point of view of culling. Besides, we tried to quantify by an economic model how the production period of sows influences the average costs of piglets and the average costs of piglets per kilo at 2006 prices. We calculated that the 5th farrowing is the minimum cost place.Sow culling, Risk analysis, Sow productivity, Average costs of piglets, Livestock Production/Industries,
