量子網路能實現量子通訊、分散式量子運算與量子資訊處理，其任務本質上涉及節點間量子同調的傳輸。然而在實際場域中，受限於設備可信度與系統存取性（對於整體複雜量子網路系統的了解知識或可測量及操作性），要驗證此過程極具挑戰；在設備可信且網路可被完整存取時，可用量子斷層掃描重建系統並驗證同調傳輸，但所需測量資源隨系統規模呈指數成長；而在更一般、設備可信度與系統存取性皆受限的情況下，完整斷層掃描便無法執行，只能依賴不需重建系統的驗證工具。這些限制促使我們探索具可擴展且所需資源最少的同調傳輸檢測策略。本論文提出一種與系統規模無關的同調傳輸準則：可容忍偵測能力未知的不可信檢查節點操作，僅需兩組標準基底測量設定即可驗證同調傳輸，且測量設定數量不隨網路節點增加，適用於設備可信度與系統存取性受限之實際情境；此外，本準則亦能於不同程度系統存取條件下驗證同調資源，例如內部結構已知、由多個獨立同調來源與聯合測量構成的三角量子網路。在實驗上，我們於光子量子網路中實現該準則，忠實地驗證量子同調於四光子與六光子糾纏交換量子網路之傳輸，並藉由刻意調整檢查節點性能模擬不完美硬體；同時，我們建構六光子糾纏源並提升穩定性與輸出品質，克服雷射多脈衝輸出異常對糾纏生成的影響；另於量子網路糾纏態主幹層級進行量子態保真度測量，結果與同調傳輸準則相互參照，從另一角度檢驗其可靠性。本論文提出在設備可信度與系統存取性皆受限之實際情境下仍可運作的量子同調傳輸準則，為在實際場域中落實量子同調傳輸於一般量子網路應用提供可擴展的驗證基礎。

Quantum network tasks inherently involve quantum coherence transfer between nodes, but verifying it is challenging under limited apparatus trustworthiness and restricted system access (i.e., incomplete network knowledge and limited measurement/control of components). Tomography can reconstruct and verify transfer with trusted devices and full access, but scales exponentially with size; with limited trust and access it is infeasible, so verification must avoid full reconstruction. We propose a system-size-independent criterion for coherence transfer detection that tolerates untrusted checkpoint nodes with unknown detection capabilities, requires two population measurement settings, and does not increase with network nodes, suitable for such scenarios. It certifies coherence resources across system access levels, including triangular quantum networks with independent coherence sources and joint measurements. In photonic quantum networks, we verify transfer in four- and six-photon entanglement swapping networks, tuning checkpoint performance to emulate imperfect hardware. We build a six-photon entanglement source and improve stability by addressing anomalous multiple pulse laser operation impacting entanglement generation. Entanglement backbone state-fidelity measurements provide a complementary reference to the criterion's reliability. Overall, the criterion remains operational with limited trustworthiness and restricted access, providing a scalable verification basis for practical quantum network tasks.
