NetSquid, a NETwork Simulator for QUantum Information using Discrete events

Implementing large-scale quantum networks is one of the challenges at the core of quantum communication. Here, the authors present NetSquid, a quantum network simulator that allows studying how such networks can be built, including physical hardware modelling, modularity, scalability, and examples.
