1. A quantum repeater, comprising:
a plurality of quantum memories;
one or more quantum memory control devices;
an outer package, wherein:
the plurality of quantum memories are enclosed within the outer package; and
the one or more quantum memory control devices are enclosed within the outer package;
one or more electrical interfaces coupled with the outer package, wherein the one or more electrical interfaces are configured to provide an interface between a device outside of the outer package and the one or more quantum memory control devices located within the outer package; and
one or more optical interfaces coupled with the outer package, wherein at least one of the one or more optical interfaces is configured to:
receive a photon to be stored in a given one of the quantum memories from a source outside of the outer package; or
provide a photon to a recipient outside of the outer package, wherein the provided photon communicates information stored in a given one of the quantum memories.
