Summary :

We focus on a characteristic which is specific to the quantum repeater protocol. In the quantum repeater protocol, quantum states which are generated by the protocol do not depend on receivers. Therefore, we can reuse EPR pairs which are generated before a change of a receiver for the quantum repeater protocol after the change. The purpose of reusing is advancing the finishing time of sharing EPR pairs, which is not equal to increasing the fidelity. In this paper, we construct concrete methods of reusing EPR pairs and analyze the effectiveness of reusing EPR pairs. Besides, we derive conditions in which reusing EPR pairs is effective.
