Fast and reliable entanglement distribution in quantum networks requires multiplexing to enhance rates and distillation to compensate the loss in fidelity. Classical communication latency associated with both swapping and distillation protocols is a significant hurdle, which the authors address by proposing a class of quasi-local entanglement distribution policies for multiplexed repeater chains.
