Abstract
Steady technological advances and recent milestones such as intercontinental quantum communication and the first implementation of medium-scale quantum networks are paving the way for the establishment of the quantum internet, a network of nodes interconnected by quantum channels. Here we build upon recent models for quantum networks based on optical fibers by considering the effect of a non-uniform distribution of nodes, more specifically based on the demographic data of the federal states in Brazil. We not only compute the statistical properties of this more realistic network, comparing its features with previous models but also employ it to compute the repetition rates for entanglement swapping, an essential protocol for quantum communication based on quantum repeaters.
