Covert Cycle Stealing in a Single FIFO Server

2020 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Consider a setting where Willie generates a Poisson stream of jobs and routes them to a single server that follows the first-in first-out discipline. Suppose there is an adversary Alice, who desires to receive service …

On the Analysis of a Multipartite Entanglement Distribution Switch

2020 · Proceedings of the ACM on Measurement and Analysis of Computing Systems

We study a quantum switch that distributes maximally entangled multipartite states to sets of users. The entanglement switching process requires two steps: first, each user attempts to generate bipartite entanglement between itself and the switch; …

On the Stochastic Analysis of a Quantum Entanglement Distribution Switch

2021 · IEEE Transactions on Quantum Engineering

In this article, we study a quantum entanglement distribution switch that serves$k$users in a star topology. We model variants of the system as continuous-time Markov chains and obtain expressions for switch capacity, expected number of …
