Abstract
Photons play a central role in performing general communication tasks. For long distance communications, photons will be lost on the way to receiver, and naturally a quantum communication system then needs to be equipped with functions to overcome the photon losses and to correct errors. We present several quantum repeater schemes and their potential implementation, and compare the advantages and disadvantages of each.
