One shared quantum state, many possible network connections on demand

Rather than committing to fixed point-to-point entangled links, this framework treats multipartite entanglement as a flexible resource whose connectivity can be reshaped on the fly via local measurements and classical communication. The authors introduce structural parameters that define what reconfigurations are possible and formalize a protocol called Entanglement Rolling to navigate that configuration space across families of multipartite states. Crucially, they analyze performance under realistic noise using the Noisy Stabilizer Formalism, deriving closed-form expressions for how noise propagates through each reconfiguration step—showing the approach remains viable under common noise models.
