Briefings
A comparative analysis of two open-source quantum network simulators, QuISP and SeQUeNCe, reveals significant discrepancies in handling connections, processing times, and classical communication, while agreeing on resource fidelity. The study, published on arXiv as a preprint, establishes a benchmark for future quantum network simulation reliability.
Key points
- QuISP and SeQUeNCe simulators show constant factor differences in latency for basic network tasks like entanglement generation and swapping due to differing connection models.
- Both simulators agree on the fidelity of distributed resources under identical error parameters, despite diverging on resource distribution latency.
Context and limitations
The study covers only basic networking tasks and does not address future quantum network protocols or full-scale protocol development.
