Dear All,

I would like to share with you that our ns-3-based quantum network simulator — Q2NS — is now available on the ns-3 App Store under the "Quantum Networks" category:

https://apps.nsnam.org/app/tag/quantumnetworks/
https://apps.nsnam.org/app/q2ns/

Q2NS natively supports multiple quantum-state representations through a unified plug-in interface, enabling interchangeable state-vector, density-matrix, and stabilizer backends. Alongside the simulator, the repository includes Q2NSViz, a lightweight visualization companion that jointly renders physical connectivity and entanglement-induced connectivity graphs.

We hope Q2NS can be useful to the community for prototyping, evaluating, and comparing quantum-network protocols and architectures.

Best wishes

Sara
