Key Files

Server Implementation

The Flask server (server.py) provides backend functionality:

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify, render_template, send_from_directory
import os
import time
import random
import json

app = Flask(__name__, static_folder='.')

# Serve static files

@app.route('/<path:path>')

def serve_static(path):
    return send_from_directory('.', path)

# Serve index.html
@app.route('/')

def index():
    return send_from_directory('.', 'multinode.html')

# API endpoint for quantum simulation
@app.route('/api/simulate', methods=['POST'])

def simulate():
    data = request.json

    # Process simulation request
    # ...
    return jsonify(results)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True, host='0.0.0.0', port=500

1. For local development with a server:

# If you have Python installed
python -m http.server
# Then open http://localhost:8000 in your browser

2. Or simply open index.html directly in your browser

3. Alternatively, visit the live demo at: https://Slygriyrsk.github.io/quantum-communication-simulator

🧪 Scientific Background

Quantum Entanglement

Quantum entanglement is a physical phenomenon that occurs when pairs or groups of particles interact in ways such that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently of the others. Instead, a quantum state must be described for the system as a whole.

In quantum communication, entanglement serves as a resource that enables protocols such as quantum teleportation and quantum key distribution.

Noise in Quantum Systems

Quantum systems are extremely sensitive to environmental interactions, which introduce noise and errors. This simulator models several types of noise:

Purification Protocols

Quantum purification protocols are methods to improve the fidelity of entangled states by using multiple lower-fidelity entangled pairs to distill fewer pairs with higher fidelity. This is crucial for long-distance quantum communication where noise accumulates over distance.

Fidelity Measurement

Fidelity is a measure of how close two quantum states are to each other. In our simulator, it represents how well the actual entangled state matches the ideal target state. A fidelity of 1.0 represents a perfect match, while lower values indicate degradation due to noise.
