Abstract

Quantum communication will be at the heart of many future quantum technologies providing the foundation to for them to coherently interact. Here we introduce the concepts of quantum multiplexing and aggregation for use in such quantum communication related tasks. Quantum multiplexing involves encoding multiple-qubits of information onto each transmitted photon and allows us to significantly reduce the effect channel losses have within those tasks. Next quantum aggregation allows quantum messages to be divided and transmitted in a coherent way over different paths when resources in given paths are limited. We will discuss potential implementations and the resources required.
