  We propose a quantum repeater for continuous variable (CV) quantum optical
states. Our repeater relies on an error correction protocol for loss on CV
states based on CV teleportation and entanglement distillation via noiseless
linear amplification. The error correction protocol is concatenated to preserve
the same effective transmission coefficient for the quantum channel over
increasing distance. The probability of successful operation of the repeater
scales polynomially with distance. However, the protocol is limited by a
trade-off between fidelity and probability of success.
