| contents | We investigate the task of conference key agreement in near-term quantum networks, where the nodes are connected by sources of bipartite entangled states, under the class of local operations not requiring quantum memory. We derive upper bounds on the distillable conference key depending on the network topology and degree of entanglement of the sources, and prove tightness of these bounds for some particular cases. In these cases, we show that pairwise bipartite key distillation followed by merging the bipartite keys into the conference key is optimal. |
