WestQuant Network

Simulator-independent experimentation, optimization, and AI layer for quantum networks.

WestQuant Network is an open framework for quantum-network modelling, simulation, benchmarking, representation search, and AI-driven optimization. It sits on top of existing quantum-network simulators — SeQUeNCe, NetSquid, SimQN, and Qoala — providing a common experiment specification, normalized metrics, cross-simulator validation, and an optimization/AI interface.

Installation

pip install westquant-network

With simulator backends (installed separately):

pip install westquant-network[sequence,simqn]
# NetSquid and Qoala require registration — see their docs

Quick start

from westquant.network import Experiment

exp = Experiment.from_yaml("experiment.yaml")
results = exp.compare(backends=["reference", "sequence", "simqn"])

westquant-network run experiment.yaml
westquant-network compare experiment.yaml --backends reference,sequence,simqn
