Resumo

Successive entanglement swapping operations degrade end-to-end fidelity in multi-hop quantum networks. This work investigates a preliminary strategy that applies purification to intermediate virtual links under bit-flip noise. Comparing the baseline with a moderate-redundancy scenario, results show that virtual-link purification expands the feasible operating region of the network.
