Quantum computing relies on concepts derived from classical information theory and quantum physics. In order for quantum communications to be a reality, it is essential to have the most advanced infrastructures in place. In this paper, we explore the significance of quantum communication and the utilization of quantum repeaters, which rely on the phenomenon of quantum entanglement. We present the MeetInTheMiddle protocol for quantum repeaters and its total transmission probability, and then propose an improvement of this protocol based on the comparison of the total transmission probability.
