contents We consider two memory nodes of a quantum network connected by flying qubits. We are particularly interested in the case where a flying qubit produced by one node has to be transformed before it can interface efficiently with the next node. Such transformations can be utilized as a key part of the distribution of quantum states and hence entanglement between the nodes of a hybrid quantum network linking together different quantum technologies. We show how and why the probability of interfacing successfully is determined by the overlap of the spectral shape of the actual flying qubit and the ideal shape. This allows us to analytically and numerically analyze how the probability of success is impacted by realistic errors, and show the utility of our scheme (in consonance with known error correction methods) in connecting hybrid nodes of a quantum network. We focus here on a concrete implementation in which the memory nodes consist of three-level atoms in cavities and the flying qubits are photons.
