Quantum repeater is the key technology enabler for long-distance quantum communication. To
date, most of the existing quantum repeater protocols are designed based on specific quantum
codes or graph states. In this paper, we propose a general framework for all-photonic one-way
quantum repeaters based on the measurement-based error correction, which can be adapted to any
Calderbank-Shor-Steane code including the recently discovered quantum low density parity check
(QLDPC) codes. We present a novel decoding scheme, where the error correction process is carried
out at the destination based on the accumulated data from the measurements made across the net-
work. This procedure not only outperforms the conventional protocols with independent repeaters
but also simplifies the local quantum operations at repeaters. As an example, we numerically show
that the [[48,6,8]] generalized bicycle code (as a small but efficient QLDPC code) has an equally
good performance while reducing the resources by at least an order of magnitude.
I. INTRODUCTION
Quantum network is one of the key quantum technolo-
gies and plays a central role in enabling unconditionally
secure communication, distributed quantum computing,
and quantum sensing [1,2]. Being an active area of
research, the exact requirements and applications of a
large-scale quantum network remain to be better under-
stood. At the fundamental level nevertheless, a putative
quantum network needs to provide a way for quantum
communication, i.e., transfer of quantum information,
among different network nodes where photons constitute
the medium of choice. Realizing a large-scale quantum
network requires transmitting quantum information over
long distances, that is challenging due to the photon loss
which grows exponentially with distance. To circumvent
this issue, quantum repeaters have been proposed [3],
and there have been tremendous efforts over the past
decade [418]. The basic idea is to place a number of re-
peater stations at intermediate distances and use quan-
tum correlations in multi-qubit entangled states to effec-
tively enhance the transmission rate between two distant
nodes.
Quantum repeater protocols are generally divided into
two categories: The first category [3,4] is based on the
heralded quantum entanglement distribution, where a
pairwise entanglement between adjacent repeater nodes
is established so that a long-range entanglement between
the end nodes can be achieved via the entanglement
swapping, i.e., performing Bell state measurement at
each intermediate node. Quantum information is then
transferred via the quantum teleportation. The success
of a teleportation attempt relies on successfully estab-
lishing entanglement links between neighboring nodes
and performing Bell measurements. Hence, a two-way
classical channel is required to communicate the success
of both processes to the adjacent nodes for every iter-
ation. Two-way communication limits the performance
of these protocols and may necessitate long-lived quan-
tum memories at repeater stations, although the latter
requirement in principle can be relaxed in all-photonic
schemes [10,11]. The second category of repeater proto-
cols [1217] involves sending encoded quantum informa-
tion in the form of multi-qubit loss tolerant states which
are received and (typically) error corrected at intermedi-
ate repeater stations. Such protocols only involve one-
way communication and hence their performance is not
impacted by the two-way communication requirement in
the first category. Furthermore, the one-way protocols
are far more efficient than the two-way protocols when
it comes to network traffic in a large scale quantum net-
work.
In this paper, we introduce an all-photonic architecture
for one-way quantum repeaters based on stabilizer codes
realized by graph states of photons, where the photon loss
is treated as a qubit erasure error and corrected through
a measurement-based error correction scheme. Our pro-
posed architecture provides a general formalism that can
be adapted to any Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) stabi-
lizer code. In particular, one can leverage the remarkable
properties (including large code distance) of the recently
developed quantum low-density parity check (QLDPC)
codes [19,20] in this formalism. We should contrast
our repeater protocol with previous code-specific pro-
tocols such as those based on the quantum parity code
(QPC) [1116], where a teleportation-based error correc-
tion is performed to deal with erasure and possible op-
erational errors, or other protocols based on tree graph
states [17,18,21], which can be viewed as teleportation
path multiplexers. Our repeater architecture in short in-
volves encoding logical qubits in a graph state of photons
corresponding to a CSS code and performing logical Bell
state measurements at each repeater. The classical infor-
mation obtained from measurement outcomes (which also
contains loss events) is not processed until received by the
recipient party who performs the error correction [22,23]
across the quantum network based on the accumulated
data (See Fig. 1). This feature is fundamentally different
from conventional methods, where the error correction is
performed at every repeater node, and offers several ad-

vantages. First, the overall performance is improved over
doing error correction at each repeater [24]. Second, since
there is no decoding at each repeater, there is no need
for matter qubits and adaptive measurements. Third, for
the same reason, the quantum gates and measurements
within each repeater is independent of the choice of the
stabilizer code. The latter two properties are in stark
contrast with the previous studies where both the quan-
tum and classical hardware as well as the error correc-
tion software were designed for specific encoding schemes
such as the quantum parity code [12,13] or tree graph
state [17]. This flexibility of our protocol would lead
to a long-term advantage as the hardware technology is
improved and new generation of quantum codes will be
available.
As we explain, the error correction in our architec-
ture is effectively carried out on a one-dimensional clus-
ter state concatenated by the CSS code as depicted in
Fig. 1(c). We derive the condition for a successful trans-
mission of the logical states across the cluster state and
provide a decoding algorithm. We illustrate details of
our framework using the [[7,1,3]] Steane code [25] and
[[48,6,8]] generalized bicycle code [19], and numerically
show that their performance is equal or better than ex-
isting protocols while requiring less resources.
II. RESULTS
A. Quantum repeater protocol
In this section, we introduce our quantum repeater ar-
chitecture. As we explain, we use a measurement-based
quantum error correction protocol so that the photon loss
is treated as unheralded, and there is no need for long-
lived matter-based quantum memory. As shown in Fig. 1,
quantum information is encoded in a graph state realiza-
tion of a quantum code, and repeaters are placed along
the channel to correct errors occurring during the trans-
mission through a lossy channel. Compared to existing
quantum repeater proposals, our protocol does not re-
quire any extra quantum hardware overhead in addition
to a resource-state generator (RSG) and single-photon
detectors per each repeater. Furthermore, no classical
data processing is required within the repeaters, and
measurement outcomes are transmitted via a classical
channel to the receiver.
We consider using single photons in the discrete-
variable formalism such as time-bin encoding which is
generally not sensitive to dephasing error and suitable for
long-distance quantum communication [26]. The main
source of error in our case is then photon loss which
is detected during the measurement process and can be
viewed as a quantum erasure channel where the error lo-
cation is known but the error type is not. According to
our protocol, the sender encodes the quantum informa-
tion (logical qubits) in multi-photon graph states. There
are two kinds of qubits in these graph states: data and

placed between Alice (sender) and Bob (receiver). Curved
lines represent the quantum channel (optical fiber). (b) Inside
a repeater station, where measurement-based error correction
occurs. Two graph states associated with the X(yellow) and
Z(red) stabilizers are generated at RSG with a transversal
controlled-phase gate applied to them. The incoming logical
qubit undergoes another controlled-phase gate with the graph
state corresponding to the Xstabilizer. Measurement out-
comes are relayed to the classical channel. Here, the [[7,1,3]]
Steane code is used for illustration purposes, where missing
qubits are shown in light colors encircled with dashed lines
(See Fig. 2for further information on graph state representa-
tion). (c) Syndrome graph for the error correction is realized

tum code [23]).
ancilla qubits. Data qubits collectively encode the logi-
cal information, while ancilla qubits are used to measure
the quantum code stabilizers. The size and shape of the
graph are determined by the deployed CSS quantum code
as will be explained in Sec. II B.
At each repeater station (Fig. 1(b)), upon receiving
the incoming graph state (from the sender or previous
repeater station), two graph states (associated with the
Xand Zstabilizer generators of the CSS code) are pre-
pared by an RSG and form a (logical) Bell pair by apply-
ing a transversal controlled-phase gate. We note that this
transversal gate can be incorporated into the state gen-
eration in the RSG. Next, a transversal controlled-phase
gate is applied between the received logical qubit and the
local logical qubit corresponding to Xstabilizer; then,
both qubits are sent to single-photon detectors where
3
the physical qubits are all measured in X-basis. This
step effectively teleports the input state to the remaining
(unmeasured) local logical qubit which is transmitted to
the next repeater. The teleportation process may seem to
be reminiscent of the teleportation-based error correction
schemes [27,28]; however, the usage of CSS error cor-
recting codes across the network results in a significantly
greater loss tolerance. The key idea is that our decoder
uses all the classical information obtained by measuring
qubits across all repeaters as opposed to breaking it down
to two qubit measurements per repeater. In other words,
our measurement-based protocol leads to a loss tolerant
channel by effectively realizing a linear cluster state of
logical qubits between the sender and receiver as shown
in Fig. 1(c).
Our protocol corrects loss errors in the transmission
via the optical fiber as well as during the state gener-
ation process. In terms of their loss probability, there
are two groups of photonic qubits: Those qubits which
travel between the successive repeaters, and others which
are generated and measured within a repeater. For in-
stance, all ancilla qubits belong to the latter group. The
former qubits are subject to the erasure channel with an
overall transmission probability,
η(L) = ηr10α0
10 L,(1)
where α0is the signal attenuation rate per unit length
in the optical fiber (which we set to be 0.2dB/km and
may report as eL/Latt with the attenuation length of
Latt = 10/(α0ln(10)) 22 km), Lis the travel distance,
and ηrdenotes the repeater efficiency (or transmittance)
which collectively includes photon-source/detector effi-
ciency, on-chip loss, and in/out coupling losses. Although
the main contributing factor to the repeater efficiency de-
pends on the details of generation/detection scheme, it
is usually the case that in/out coupling at the chip-fiber
interface is the dominant factor. For this reason, we as-
sume that the transmission efficiency of the latter group
of qubits (i.e., internal qubits) is given by ηr.
B. Measurement-based error correction
As mentioned, we use graph states to implement an
all-photonic quantum code. A graph state (see Ref. [29]
for a detailed review) associated with graph Gof Nver-
tices (i.e., qubits) is defined as a quantum state of N
qubits |ΨGi=Q(i,j)Gczi,j |+iN,where subscripts are
qubit labels i, j = 1,··· , N , qubit state |+idenotes the
eigenstate of XPauli operator, and czi,j is a controlled-
phase gate between qubits iand jfor every edge (i, j)
on graph G. An important property of graph states is
that they can be characterized as stabilizer states with
Nstabilizer generators, where the i-th stabilizer gener-
ator associated with the i-th vertex on Gis defined by

FIG. 2. Graph state construction of CSS codes (a)
Tanner graph of the parity-check matrix HX(or HZ) and (b)
the corresponding graph state for the [[7,1,3]] Steane code.
Circles with integer labels denote the data qubits and squares
with labels S1,2,3denote the ancilla qubits to measure stabi-
lizers. (c) Part of the graph state associated with the three
consecutive sites on the 1D cluster state (Fig. 1(c)). Ancilla
qubits for two different sets of stabilizers are shown as red and
yellow for Zand Xstabilizers, respectively. In (b) and (c),
we use graph state representation where solid lines represent
controlled-phase gates. Dotted lines in (c) shows an example
of an inter-site stabilizer operator.
ZPauli operators on the adjacent (in the sense of graph)
vertices. We should note that a graph state is a stabilizer
state (as opposed to a stabilizer code) since there are N
stabilizers which determine a unique state for Nqubits.
A quantum code of distance d, denoted by [[n, k, d]],
encodes klogical qubits into ndata qubits and is sta-
bilized by nkPauli operators (stabilizer generators
or parity check operators). In the case of CSS codes,
the stabilizer group is divided into two subgroups where
the stabilizer operators are products of either only X
or ZPauli operators. The stabilizer group associated
with Xor Zoperators can conveniently be represented
by a bipartite graph (called Tanner graph) as shown for
example in Fig. 2(a) for the [[7,1,3]] Steane code. A
straightforward implementation of a CSS quantum code
in an all-photonic scheme is as follows: Construct the
Tanner graph associated with Zstabilizers as a graph
state where parity check operators as well as data qubits
are represented as vertices which we call ancilla and data
qubits, respectively. By definition, measuring the ancilla
qubits in Xbasis then fixes the value of Zparity checks
(See e.g. Fig. 2(b) for the 7-qubit code). Similarly, one
