When Routes Run Out: Adversarial Co-Learning and Explainable Robustness in Quantum Repeater Networks
Brennan Bell, Inti Gabriel Mendoza Estrada, Andreas Trügler, Paul Erker
We study an adversarial bandit problem for entanglement-based quantum-network routing over a modest graph corpus. Alice selects an end-to-end repeater route for an Ekert-91 protocol (E91) representing her move, while Eve selects an attack surface, either edge intercept--resend or…
