SimQN is a discrete-event network-layer simulator for quantum networks, written in Python with optional Cython acceleration. It supports large-scale investigations of QKD protocols, entanglement distribution, and quantum routing algorithms.

Use cases

  • simulate quantum network protocols
  • evaluate QKD protocol performance
  • test entanglement distribution algorithms
  • research quantum network routing
  • model large-scale quantum internet topologies
  • run parallel quantum network simulations

When to choose

  • you need a Python-based, easy-to-extend quantum network simulator
  • you are researching network-layer quantum protocols like QKD or entanglement routing
  • you want a simulator with academic track record and active development

When to avoid

  • you need physical-layer qubit-level simulation rather than network-layer modeling
  • you need a production quantum networking stack rather than a research simulator
