摘要

量子网络利用量子力学的独特特性,使现有的分布式经典系统无法进行通信和网络任务。最近,研究团体将相当多的精力集中在大规模量子网络的模拟上,其最终目标是了解它们的一般特性,制定技术标准,并估计它们的预期性能。然而,相对而言,很少有人考虑量子网络如何影响军事相关的战术场景,在这些场景中,量子和经典资源都可能受到严重限制。在这里,我们开发了一个定制框架,称为QuanTACT,用于量子网络模拟,明确设计用于将来集成到现有的战术模拟工具中。特别是,我们的框架扩展了现有的量子网络工具SQUANCH,以包括模拟部署光纤环境所需的通道模型。此外,我们实现了模拟基于纠缠的量子密钥分发(QKD)所需的额外子程序,并使用来自各种现场部署的QKD实验的公开结果来基准测试我们框架的性能。

Simulating quantum key distribution in fiber-based quantum networks
Quantum networks exploit the unique properties of quantum mechanics to enable communication and networking tasks unavailable to existing distributed classical systems. Recently, the research community has focused considerable effort on the simulation of large-scale quantum networks with the ultimate goal of understanding their general properties, developing technical standards, and estimating their expected performance. However, comparatively little effort has been spent considering how quantum networks may impact tactical scenarios of military relevance where both quantum and classical resources may be severely constrained. Here, we develop a custom framework, called QuanTACT, for quantum network simulation explicitly designed for future integration into existing tactical simulation tools. In particular, our framework extends the existing quantum networking tool, SQUANCH, to include channel models required to simulate deployed fiber environments. Furthermore, we implement the additional subroutines needed to simulate entanglement-based quantum key distribution (QKD) and use published results from various field-deployed QKD experiments to benchmark the performance of our framework.
