  1. Quantum repeaters are necessary to fully realize the capabilities of the emerging quantum internet, especially applications involving distributing entanglement across long distances. A more general notion of this can be called a quantum switch, which connects to many users and can act as a repeater to create end-to-end entanglement between different subsets of these users. Here we present a method of calculating the capacity region of both discrete- and continuous-variable quantum switches that in general support mixed-partite entanglement generation. The method uses tools from convex analysis to generate the boundaries of the capacity region. We show example calculations with illustrative topologies and perform simulations to support the analytical results.
