High Performance Programmable Simulation Framework for Quantum Network / Internet Communication

The objective of the project is to develop a framework to simulate quantum communication networks on high-performance classical computing systems. 

The framework shall allow the users to model and design protocols for quantum communication networks. It can be used to study the behavior of the quantum channels with different network elements. It shall offer mechanisms for synchronization between the network elements. It can be used to study the effects of multiple entities, channel length, etc.
