Deterministic generation of all-photonic quantum repeaters

Quantum repeaters are nodes in a quantum communication network that allow reliable transmission of entanglement over large distances. It was recently shown that highly entangled photons in so-called graph states can be used for all-photonic quantum repeaters, which overcome some of the challenges of atomic-memory based repeaters.~We present a protocol for the deterministic generation of large repeater graph states using quantum emitters such as semiconductor quantum dots and defect centers in solids. Our protocol has a built-in redundancy which makes it resilient to photon loss.
