量子网络模拟器的交叉验证
摘要
我们提出了对两种开源量子网络模拟器 QuISP 和 SeQUeNCe 的首次交叉验证,聚焦于基本网络任务,以确保模拟输出的一致性和准确性。尽管两种模拟器的设计目标非常相似,但其不同的基本假设可能导致模拟结果的差异。我们指出,两种模拟器在处理连接、内部网络节点处理时间以及经典通信方面存在差异,导致完成基本网络任务(如 elementary link generation 和纠缠交换)所需时间存在显著差异。我们构思了常见情景以比较两种模拟器在资源分配完成时间以及分配资源的保真度。我们的发现表明,尽管两种模拟器在完成网络任务所需时间上存在常数因素的差异,这一差异可归因于其各自的连接模型,但在相同的误差参数下,两者在分配资源的保真度上保持一致。该工作Demonstrates a crucial first step towards enhancing the reliability and reproducibility of quantum network simulations, as well as leading to full protocol development. Furthermore, our benchmarking methodology establishes a foundational set of tasks for the cross-validation of simulators to study future quantum networks.
