Submodules

qpce.link module

Quantum link.

class qpce.link.Link(router_1, router_2, length)

Bases: object

A link.

A link object represents a physical link between a pair of quantum routers.

The current implementation assumes that every link is both a quantum link (can exchange qubits) as well as a classical link (can exchange classical messages). In other words, at this point we assume that the quantum topology and the classical topology are the same.

qpce.network module

Quantum network.

class qpce.network.Network

Bases: object

A quantum network.

A quantum network object describes the topology and available resources in a quantum network. It consists of quantum routers and quantum links.

add_router(router)

Add a quantum router to this quantum network.

Parameters

router (Router) – The quantum router to be added.

Returns

None

qpce.network_yaml module

qpce.path module

Quantum path.

class qpce.path.Path(demand, name, end_point_1, end_point_2, bandwidth, fidelity)

Bases: object

A quantum path.

A quantum path is an association between two application end-points over which qubits are teleported. The path produces end-to-end Bell pairs at the rate and fidelity requested by the application.

qpce.router module

Quantum Router.

class qpce.router.Router(network, name)

Bases: object

A quantum router.

A quantum router object represents a quantum router that is part of a quantum network. Quantum routers are interconnected by quantum links.

add_link(link)

Add a link to the router. The link is attached to the next available port. The number of that port is returned.

Parameters

link (Link) – The link to be attached.

Returns

The port to which the link was attached.

Raises

AssertionError if there is already a router with the same name in the network. –
