Image depiction of: To connect two nodes operating at different wavelengths, there are generally two strategies: (1) use quantum frequency conversion or quantum transduction to convert the wavelength of the photon emitted by one node to the wavelength of the second node, or (2) connect the two nodes using an entangled photon pair source whose two photons have wavelengths that match the two nodes. Both techniques involve nonlinear optics.

Nonlinear Optics for Quantum Information and Networking

Quantum networking and distributed quantum sensing will require photonic links (so called flying qubits) to connect nodes and enable scaling to larger distances and network sizes. An interconnect may consist of a photon going from one node to another where both nodes operate at the same wavelength

Key Components of Quantum Repeaters and Quantum Network Systems Single Photon Sources: An ideal single photon entangled pair source for a quantum repeater application should satisfy several conditions simultaneously. Since photons must interact efficiently with a quantum memory, the source must emit
