Abstract
A scalable photonic quantum network requires a means to perform deterministic quantum operations at the single-photon level. This can be accomplished by means of linear optics, measurement by photodetectors, and quantum memory. We discuss progress in these components, and indicate some practical thresholds in device performance for some useful network operations.
