I'm an engineering student. As my end of year project I've simulated BB84 protocol using simulaqron(python). I'm thinking about publishing a paper about this simulation. I haven't published any research paper before, do you have any suggestions about where to publish? or about how to represent my ideas?

  • $\begingroup$ I'm an engineering student. And I'm also thinking of doing my project on BB84 protocol but I don't know where to start. could you please provide me with the documents and references or anything that helped you in your research? $\endgroup$

First of all, it depends on the level of detail of your simulation. SimulaQron does not take into account noise, so I presume your simulation is only functional. Many BB84 functional simulations have been developed so far, and no one was so interesting to deserve publication in a research paper.

Notice also that BB84 is the reference example in the following tutorial by the authors of SimulaQron:

http://www.simulaqron.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/instructions_2018_2.pdf

If you want to simulate BB84 in a detailed fashion, you may try QuISP, a novel simulation tool whose focus is "on protocol design and emergent behavior of complex, heterogeneous networks at large scale, while keeping the physical layer as realistic as possible."

  • $\begingroup$ Thank you for your suggestions! but with Simulaqron we can simulate noisy qubits. In my simulation I used cascade protocol for error correction with noisy qubits. $\endgroup$ Jun 3, 2020 at 21:54
  • $\begingroup$ This is very good news! Can you provide a link to the documentation of the simulation of noisy qubits? $\endgroup$ Jun 4, 2020 at 5:09
  • $\begingroup$ this is an example softwarequtech.github.io/CQC-Python/qber.html?highlight=noise , but now I find that This noise is probabilistic and should not be used to benchmark the performence of protocols in noisy settings. As a beginner I didn't pay attention to this detail before :) $\endgroup$ Jun 5, 2020 at 7:35
