Abstract
Efficient generation of spatially delocalised entangled states is at the heart of quantum information science. Generally flying qubits are proposed for long range entangling interactions, however here we introduce a bus-mediated alternative for this task. Our scheme permits efficient and flexible generation of deterministic two-qubit operator measurements and has links to the important concepts of mode-entanglement and repeat-until-success protocols. Importantly, unlike flying qubit protocols, our bus particle never contains information about the individual quantum states of the particles, hence is information-free.
