The solvability of quantum k-pair network in a measurement-based way

Network coding is an effective means to enhance the communication efficiency. The characterization of network solvability is one of the most important topic in this field. However, for general network, the solvability conditions are still a challenge. In this paper, we consider the solvability of general quantum k-pair network in measurement-based framework. For the first time, a detailed account of measurement-based quantum network coding(MB-QNC) is specified systematically. Differing from existing coding schemes, single qubit measurements on a pre-shared graph state are the only allowed coding operations. Since no control operations are concluded, it makes MB-QNC schemes more feasible. Further, the sufficient conditions formulating by eigenvalue equations and stabilizer matrix are presented, which build an unambiguous relation among the solvability and the general network. And this result can also analyze the feasibility of sharing k EPR pairs task in large-scale networks. Finally, in the presence of noise, we analyze the advantage of MB-QNC in contrast to gate-based way. By an instance network [Formula: see text] , we show that MB-QNC allows higher error thresholds. Specially, for X error, the error threshold is about 30% higher than 10% in gate-based way. In addition, the specific expressions of fidelity subject to some constraint conditions are given.
