We present the architecture and analyze the applications of a metropolitan-scale quantum
network that requires only limited hardware resources for end users. Using NetSquid, a …

Graph states are a large class of multipartite entangled quantum states that form the basis of
schemes for quantum computation, communication, error correction, metrology, and more. In …

Electronic voting is a very useful but challenging internet-based protocol that despite many
theoretical approaches and various implementations with different degrees of success …

Graph state verification protocols allow multiple parties to share a graph state while
checking that the state is honestly prepared, even in the presence of malicious parties. Since …

Electronic voting is a very useful but challenging internet-based protocol that despite many

In this thesis, we study networks of entangled quantum optical systems at different degrees
of complexity, with a special regard to their application to quantum communication …
