Hi Michael,

Thanks for your talk on computing entanglement paths in quantum networks. The following draft (somewhat dormant for a while) is what I mentioned at the mike: 
“Advertising Entanglement Capabilities in Quantum Networks”
The basic idea is to advertise entanglement properties of nodes and links in a network so that computations such as those you talked about can be done. For example, a node’s distillation (purification) capabilities; a link’s time-fidelity tradeoff for entanglement operations. These properties are advertised via a link state protocol such as OSPF. There are no doubt more such properties that factor into effective entanglement computations. These properties should be useful for both distributed and centralized computations

Something like this draft could form the basis of future work; happy to help any way I can, as I’m sure my co-authors are as well. 

[Rod: please forward to Michael Cubeddu, in case he’s not on the QIRG mailing list. Thanks!]
