The third network stage, entanglement distribution allows shared entanglement i.e. two nodes can be connected using [[Glossary#Entangled States|entanglement]]. It could be further used to share states between two nodes without physically transferring the qubits over quantum channels. Yet this feature cannot be completely put in use unless one can store quantum states which is only possible with quantum memory, not a technology accessible at this network stage. It includes all the prepare and measure network stage technologies along with sharing of entanglement between two nodes separated by some distance. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postselection Post-selection] on detection events when measuring qubits is prohibited. | The third network stage, entanglement distribution allows shared entanglement i.e. two nodes can be connected using [[Glossary#Entangled States|entanglement]].

The network stage includes two types of end-to-end (shared between two nodes) entanglement, deterministic and heralded. Deterministic entanglement refers to the fact that the process succeeds with (near) unit probability while heralding is a slightly weaker form of deterministic entanglement distribution in which the successful generation of entanglement is signaled with an event that is independent of the (immediate) measurement of the entangled qubit. | The network stage includes two types of end-to-end (shared between two nodes) entanglement, deterministic and heralded.
