Techniques for generating and maintaining a buffer of on-demand, pairwise quantum entanglement instances using programmable optical switchboard architectures within quantum repeaters are disclosed. A rate of establishing pairwise quantum entanglement instances between quantum repeaters of a quantum entanglement network may be higher than both a rate of decay of said instances and a rate of consumption of said instances for providing distributed quantum entanglement, such that on-demand distribution of quantum entanglement may be provided for customers. Furthermore, an optical switchboard with a given quantum repeater may be configured to route between any of the quantum memory locations provided within the quantum repeater, such that an optimization of the usage of such buffers of quantum entanglement instances may be ensured.
