Abstract

The rapidly growing domain of quantum networks necessitates advancements in associated software packages. This master’s thesis will detail, in part, new protocols added to extend the usefulness of SeQUeNCe. Notably, these added protocols were implemented to ensure compatibility and efficiency with the existing codebase. To complement this expansion in capability, the graphical user interface (GUI) was restructured. Updates to the GUI now allow users to initiate and operate these newly integrated protocols with ease, thereby expanding the accessibility of SeQUeNCe to a wider audience. By prioritizing the incorporation of these new protocols and refining the user interface, this research significantly elevates SeQUeNCe’s position as an evolving tool in quantum computing software.
