  Error management in the quantum Internet requires stateful and stochastic
processing across multiple nodes, which is a significant burden. In view of the
history of the current Internet, the end-to-end principle was devised for error
management, simplifying the work inside the network and contributing
significantly to the scalability of the Internet. In this paper, we propose to
bring the end-to-end principle into the error management of quantum Internet to
improve the communication resource utilization efficiency of a quantum
Internet. The simulation results show that the error management using the
end-to-end principle and locality can be more resource-efficient than other
settings. In addition, when end-to-end error management is used, if the error
probability of qubits in the end node is sufficiently low, there is no problem
even if the error probability on the network side is higher than that in the
end node, and the load on the network can be reduced. Our proposal will
contribute to improving the communication capacity and scalability of the
quantum Internet, as well as to improve the interoperability of quantum
Autonomous Systems. In addition, existing studies on routing and other aspects
of the quantum Internet may exclude error management from their scope due to
its complexity. The results of this study provide validity to the assumptions
of such studies.
