To claim exclusive time to work on this bounty either post a comment here or message [email protected] with:

• your name
• github username
• (optional) a brief list of previous pertinent projects you have engaged in

If you want to, you can work on this project without making a claim, however claims are encouraged to give you and other contributors peace of mind. Whoever has made a claim takes precedence when solutions are considered.

You can always propose your own funded project, if you would like to contribute something of value that is not yet covered by an official bounty.

Implement a new interactive example [$400]

We have a growing collection of interactive examples in this repository, showcasing a variety of interesting networking setups and their dynamics. To claim this bounty propose, discuss, and implement new examples of a networking simulations of interest to you. Multiple people can claim this bounty repeatedly with different projects.

Submissions will have to be well documented and tested, in a format that makes them as easy to run as the already existing examples.

Some examples can be seen running online at https://areweentangledyet.com/

Required skills: Knowledge of the phenomenon or protocol being simulated in the example, comfort with visualization libraries like Makie.

Hi @mantri-prateek ! Your post is lacking some context; are you saying you want to work on this or that you have already started doing so?

[mantri-prateek]

Oh sorry about that - just expressing interest in working on this problem!

[Krastanov]

Sounds good! Could you describe a bit what you had in mind? This one is pretty open ended (and it can be done multiple times, contributing different examples). If you have the bandwidth, post a small proposal here (one or two paragraphs), maybe with a mockup sketch, and we can polish it together, potentially at the hackathon tonight.

I am thinking of the following -

1. A large linear network with repeaters equipped with a large number of imperfect memories.
2. Synchronized parallel entanglement generation and synchronized nested swapping.
3. Potential for distillation (with a static distillation schedule).
4. Imperfect gate and measurement operations.

I can work up a schematic if it will aid in understanding!

For public tracking: @mantri-prateek and @sagnikpal2004 are working on an instance of this bounty, related to swaps and distillation in a repeater chain. This bounty itself is left unreserved as it can be claimed repeatedly, e.g. by other community members contributing unrelated protocols and examples.
