Delay Bounds for Quantum Communication Procedures Under the Repeat-Until-Success Framework

Explore a technical lecture where Dr. Sounak Kar from EPFL discusses the continuous extension of the repeat-until-success framework for quantum communication procedures. Learn about the challenges of current quantum communication hardware and how existing procedures require multiple repetitions before achieving success. Discover a general framework that considers success probability dependencies on constituent procedural steps, and understand how the time until successful execution remains sub-exponential when individual attempt times are sub-exponential. Examine delay bounds for quantum communication primitives, with specific focus on the BB84 quantum key distribution protocol, and learn about a proposed fast simulation scheme for protocol success timing. Gain insights into network performance analysis through probability theory applications, presented by an expert with extensive academic background from Technical University of Darmstadt and Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata.
