Quantum entanglement is a preliminary requirement for many protocols in quantum computing, communication, and sensing. Entanglement is typically achieved by having two particles created from the same source [1]. However, creating quantum networks and internet requires distributing and manipulating quantum states between remote nodes through protocols such as quantum entanglement. Here we report high-fidelity entanglement swapping using time-bin qubits, with the aim of distributing entanglement between national laboratories in the United States.

We detail our experiments towards generating GHZ states encoded into time-bin qubits using a 2x2 optical switch. We present a theoretical model founded on phase-space techniques to corroborate our experimental findings.
