Reposition time in probabilistic imperfect memories

Abstract

We present the analysis of behavior of N identical finite time memories with the imperfections characterized by a step-function model, based on a study of independent copies of the geometric distribution. We show a step-by-step derivation of a formula for the average waiting time for obtaining N successes within a given time span τ, which was used recently in the analysis of quantum repeater rates.
