Beyond future applications, quantum networks open interesting fundamental perspectives, notably novel forms of quantum correlations. In this work we discuss quantum correlations in networks from the perspective of the underlying quantum states and their entanglement. We address the questions of which states can be prepared in the so-called triangle network, consisting of three nodes connected pairwise by three sources. We derive necessary criteria for a state to be preparable in such a network, considering both the cases where the sources are statistically independent and classically correlated. This shows that the network structure imposes strong and non-trivial constraints on the set of preparable states, fundamentally different from the standard characterization of multipartite quantum entanglement.

Quantum networks allow in principle for completely novel forms of quantum correlations. In particular, quantum nonlocality can be demonstrated here without the need of having various input settings, but only by considering the joint statistics of fix ed local measurement outputs. However, previous examples of this intriguing phenomenon all appear to stem directly from the usual form of quantum nonlocality, namely via the violation of a standard Bell inequality. Here we present novel examples of quantum nonlocality without inputs, which we believe represent a new form of quantum nonlocality, genuine to networks. Our simplest examples, for the triangle network, involve both entangled states and joint entangled measurements. A generalization to any odd-cycle network is also presented. Finally, we conclude with some open questions.
A previously overlooked constraint for the distribution of entanglement in three-qubit systems is exploited for the first time and used to reveal a new genuine tripartite entanglement measure. It is interpreted as the area of a so-called concurrence triangle and is compared with other existing measures. The new measure is found superior to previous attempts for different reasons. A specific example is illustrated to show that two tripartite entanglement measures can be inequivalent due to the high dimensionality of the Hilbert space.
Quantum entanglement is a key resource for quantum computation and quantum communication cite{Nielsen2010}. Scaling to large quantum communication or computation networks further requires the deterministic generation of multi-qubit entanglement cite{ Gottesman1999,Duan2001,Jiang2007}. The deterministic entanglement of two remote qubits has recently been demonstrated with microwave photons cite{Kurpiers2018,Axline2018,Campagne2018,Leung2019,Zhong2019}, optical photons cite{Humphreys2018} and surface acoustic wave phonons cite{Bienfait2019}. However, the deterministic generation and transmission of multi-qubit entanglement has not been demonstrated, primarily due to limited state transfer fidelities. Here, we report a quantum network comprising two separate superconducting quantum nodes connected by a 1 meter-long superconducting coaxial cable, where each node includes three interconnected qubits. By directly connecting the coaxial cable to one qubit in each node, we can transfer quantum states between the nodes with a process fidelity of $0.911pm0.008$. Using the high-fidelity communication link, we can prepare a three-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state cite{Greenberger1990,Neeley2010,Dicarlo2010} in one node and deterministically transfer this state to the other node, with a transferred state fidelity of $0.656pm 0.014$. We further use this system to deterministically generate a two-node, six-qubit GHZ state, globally distributed within the network, with a state fidelity of $0.722pm0.021$. The GHZ state fidelities are clearly above the threshold of $1/2$ for genuine multipartite entanglement cite{Guhne2010}, and show that this architecture can be used to coherently link together multiple superconducting quantum processors, providing a modular approach for building large-scale quantum computers cite{Monroe2014,Chou2018}.
The task of classifying the entanglement properties of a multipartite quantum state poses a remarkable challenge due to the exponentially increasing number of ways in which quantum systems can share quantum correlations. Tackling such challenge requi res a combination of sophisticated theoretical and computational techniques. In this paper we combine machine-learning tools and the theory of quantum entanglement to perform entanglement classification for multipartite qubit systems in pure states. We use a parameterisation of quantum systems using artificial neural networks in a restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) architecture, known as Neural Network Quantum States (NNS), whose entanglement properties can be deduced via a constrained, reinforcement learning procedure. In this way, Separable Neural Network States (SNNS) can be used to build entanglement witnesses for any target state.
The potential impact of future quantum networks hinges on high-quality quantum entanglement shared between network nodes. Unavoidable real-world imperfections necessitate means to improve remote entanglement by local quantum operations. Here we reali ze entanglement distillation on a quantum network primitive of distant electron-nuclear two-qubit nodes. We demonstrate the heralded generation of two copies of a remote entangled state through single-photon-mediated entangling of the electrons and robust storage in the nuclear spins. After applying local two-qubit gates, single-shot measurements herald the distillation of an entangled state with increased fidelity that is available for further use. In addition, this distillation protocol significantly speeds up entanglement generation compared to previous two-photon-mediated schemes. The key combination of generating, storing and processing entangled states demonstrated here opens the door to exploring and utilizing multi-particle entanglement on an extended quantum network.
