标题： Cross-Validating Quantum Network Simulators

摘要： 我们首次对两个开源量子网络模拟器QuISP和SeQUeNCe进行了交叉验证，重点关注基本的网络任务，以确保模拟输出的一致性和准确性。 尽管这两个模拟器的设计目标非常相似，但它们不同的基本假设可能导致模拟结果出现差异。 我们指出了这两个模拟器在处理连接、内部网络节点处理时间以及经典通信方面的差异，导致执行基本网络任务（如基本链路生成和纠缠交换）所需时间存在显著差异。 我们设计了共同场景来比较资源分发的时间以及分发资源的保真度。 我们的研究结果表明，虽然这两个模拟器完成网络任务所需时间不同，但这种差异是由于各自的连接模型造成的常数因子差异，在相同的错误参数下，它们在分发资源的保真度上是一致的。 这项工作展示了提高量子网络模拟可靠性和可重复性的关键第一步，同时也为完整的协议开发奠定了基础。 此外，我们的基准测试方法建立了一组基础任务，用于模拟器的交叉验证，以研究未来的量子网络。 显示英文摘要

摘要： We present a first cross-validation of two open-source quantum network simulators, QuISP and SeQUeNCe, focusing on basic networking tasks to ensure consistency and accuracy in simulation outputs. Despite very similar design objectives of both simulators, their differing underlying assumptions can lead to variations in simulation results. We highlight the discrepancies in how the two simulators handle connections, internal network node processing time, and classical communication, resulting in significant differences in the time required to perform basic network tasks such as elementary link generation and entanglement swapping. We devise common ground scenarios to compare both the time to complete resource distribution and the fidelity of the distributed resources. Our findings indicate that while the simulators differ in the time required to complete network tasks, a constant factor difference attributable to their respective connection models, they agree on the fidelity of the distributed resources under identical error parameters. This work 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.
