• Abstract: In order to bring quantum networks into the real world, we would like to determine the requirements of quantum network protocols including the underlying quantum hardware. Because detailed architecture proposals are generally too complex for mathematical analysis, it is natural to employ numerical simulation. Here we introduce NetSquid, the NETwork Simulator for QUantum Information using Discrete events, a discrete-event based platform for simulating all aspects of quantum networks and modular quantum computing systems, ranging from the physical layer and its control plane up to the application level. We study several use cases to showcase NetSquid's power, including detailed physical layer simulations of repeater chains based on nitrogen vacancy centres in diamond as well as atomic ensembles. We also study the control plane of a quantum switch beyond its analytically known regime, and showcase NetSquid's ability to investigate large networks by simulating entanglement distribution over a chain of up to one thousand nodes.

  We propose quantum graph convolutional networks (QuanGCN), which learns the local message passing among nodes with the sequence of crossing-gate quantum operations. To mitigate the inherent noises from modern quantum devices, we apply sparse constraint to sparsify the nodes' connections. Our QuanGCN is functionally comparable or even superior than the classical algorithms on several benchmark graph datasets.
