Q2NSViz: An Open-source Standalone Visualizer for Quantum Network Simulations

Francesco Mazza, Marcello Caleffi, Angela Sara Cacciapuoti

The unique and non-classical features of quantum networks make their simulation and intuitive understanding inherently difficult. In this work, we present Q2NSViz, an open-source P…

A Resource-Driven Framework for Configurable Entanglement in Quantum Networks

Francesco Mazza, Claudio Pellitteri, Angela Sara Cacciapuoti +1

Shared multipartite entanglement defines a ``whatever channel'', i.e., a latent communication substrate that does not determine a priori which end-to-end entangled links are activa…

Q2NS Demo: A Quantum Network Simulator Based on ns-3

Francesco Mazza, Adam Pearson, Marcello Caleffi +1

Q2NS is an open-source quantum network simulator built on ns-3, the de facto standard for classical network simulation. By inheriting ns-3's mature classical stack and event-driven…

An Extensible Quantum Network Simulator Built on ns-3: Q2NS Design and Evaluation

Adam Pearson, Francesco Mazza, Marcello Caleffi +1

As quantum networking hardware remains costly and not yet widely accessible, simulation tools are essential for the design and evaluation of quantum network architectures and proto…

QPing: a Quantum Ping Primitive for Quantum Networks

Jorge Miguel-Ramiro, Jessica Illiano, Francesco Mazza +5

We introduce the concept of Quantum Ping (QPing) as a diagnostic primitive for future quantum networks, designed to assess whether two or more end nodes can establish practical qua…

Quantum Data Centres: Why Entanglement Changes Everything

Angela Sara Cacciapuoti, Claudio Pellitteri, Jessica Illiano +4

The Quantum Internet is key for distributed quantum computing, by interconnecting multiple quantum processors into a virtual quantum computation system. This allows to scale the nu…

Intra-QLAN Connectivity: beyond the Physical Topology

Francesco Mazza, Marcello Caleffi, Angela Sara Cacciapuoti

In the near to mid future, Quantum Local Area Networks (QLANs) -- the fundamental building block of the Quantum Internet -- will unlike exhibit physical topologies characterized by…
