Abstract
We develop a quantum network simulation framework designed for integration into tactical simulation tools. It extends the quantum networking tool SQUANCH with realistic fiber and free-space channel models and implements subroutines for simulating entanglement-based QKD. We benchmark our framework using a published free-space QKD experiment.
