title: Multisplitter interaction for entanglement distribution.
abstract: In protocols of distributed quantum information processing, a network of bilateral entanglement is a key resource for efficient communication and computation. We propose a model, efficient both in finite and infinite Hilbert spaces, that performs entanglement distribution among the elements of a network without local control. In the establishment of entangled channels, our setup requires only the proper preparation of a single elected element. We suggest a setup of electromechanical systems to implement our proposal.
