| contents | Efficient entanglement distribution is a cornerstone of the Quantum Internet. However, physical link parameters such as photon loss, memory coherence time, and gate error rates fluctuate dynamically, rendering static purification strategies suboptimal. In this paper, we propose an Adaptive Purification Controller (APC) that automatically optimizes the entanglement distillation sequence to maximize the goodput, i.e., the rate of delivered pairs meeting a strict fidelity threshold. By treating protocol selection as a resource allocation problem, the APC dynamically switches between purification depths and protocols (BBPSSW vs. DEJMPS) to navigate the trade-off between generation rate and state quality. Using a dynamic programming planner with Pareto pruning, simulation results show that our approach mitigates the "fidelity cliffs" inherent in static protocols and reduces resource wastage in high-noise regimes. Furthermore, we extend the controller to heterogeneous scenarios, and evaluate it for both multipartite GHZ state generation and continuous-variable systems using effective noiseless linear amplification models. We benchmark its computational overhead, showing decision latencies in the millisecond range per link in our implementation. |
