Chin-Te Liao, Sima Bahrani, Francisco Ferreira da Silva, Elham Kashefi

TL;DR
This paper evaluates the performance of various quantum protocols in realistic noisy conditions using simulation, providing insights into their practical feasibility and the impact of hardware imperfections.
Contribution
It offers a comprehensive simulation-based benchmarking of quantum protocols across communication and computation, highlighting key hardware requirements and limitations.
Findings
Quantum money requires decoherence time at least three times the qubit storage time.
Achieving fidelity above 0.8 in anonymous transmission needs short storage times relative to decoherence.
Gate imperfections with depolarizing probability ≥ 0.05 compromise protocol security.
Abstract
Quantum network protocols offer new functionalities such as enhanced security to communication and computational systems. Despite the rapid progress in quantum hardware, it has not yet reached a level of maturity that enables execution of many quantum protocols in practical settings. To develop quantum protocols in real world, it is necessary to examine their performance considering the imperfections in their practical implementation using simulation platforms. In this paper, we consider several quantum protocols that enable promising functionalities and services in near-future quantum networks. The protocols are chosen from both areas of quantum communication and quantum computation as follows: quantum money, W-state based anonymous transmission, verifiable blind quantum computation, and quantum digital signature. We use NetSquid simulation platform to evaluate the effect of various…
