Abstract
We show that the average of the maximum teleportation fidelities between all pairs of nodes in a large quantum repeater network is a measure of the resourcefulness of the network as a whole. We use simple Werner state-based models to characterise some fundamental (loopless) topologies (star, chain, and some trees) with respect to this measure in three (semi)realistic scenarios. Most of our results are analytic and are applicable for arbitrary network sizes. We identify the parameter ranges where these networks can achieve quantum advantages and show the large-N behaviours.
