Quantum Protocol Zoo encompasses a set of General Functionality Descriptions of different quantum and classical functionalities achieved by various quantum protocols. This description elicits various methods used by various protocols. Each such method is described by a formal description illustrating the method, its properties and relevant papers. The description is written keeping a general audience in mind and a mathematical algorithm of the same is also provided. The relevant papers encompass all the various papers which imply similar method and properties. The different descriptions are interlinked by means of relatable terms called "tags". Some use case and technological readiness of the method are also highlighted to indicate any near term implementation or scope of the protocol. Finally, some esoteric concepts used by these quantum protocols are explained via internal links that would direct you to a wiki page [[Supplementary Information|'''Supplementary Information''']].<br/>
Quantum Protocol Zoo is a repository of protocols for quantum networks. It presents a wiki of protocols for various functionalities classified in terms of the [[:Category: Network Stages|network stages]] for a quantum internet. It is important to note that, although there are several different ways of defining a protocol, we characterise it as something that involves more than one party. In particular, we define a protocol as a sequence of steps, specifically designed to accomplish a task. It may or may not involve an algorithm and could be run between trusted parties as well as parties who don't trust each other.  
 
==General Functionality Description==
Certain functionalities which can be implemented via different kinds of protocols (using different resources) and thus, lead one to a general description where one finds the definition, properties, use cases of the functionality. It further segregates protocols covering the functionality based on several different aspects like implementation used by quantum protocols to achieve the concerned functionality. Each section opens up a formal description for a particular implementation. Any protocol linked to a given formal description would be listed in its reference section as illustrated before. Following is the structure for such formal descriptions.
 
==Structure==
 
===Functionality Description===
A lucid definition of functionality achieved and properties satisfied by the method used.
===Use Case===
Bridges the gap between users and protocol designers.

===Outline===
It is a wordy and detailed outline for the protocol without any mathematical notations which helps the reader create a rough picture of the protocol. It does not involve any specific detail of protocol. This section may or may not include a figure for the protocol.

== The goal ==
It is a dynamic platform and the entire community of quantum information and computation is invited to make this attempt a success by further contribution. Submissions can be made to the google form provided in the link below. People can register a request to include their article in the reference of a certain formal description they feel their protocol is similar to. Also, if people think their protocol requires a new formal description not covered by the existing library in the Zoo, they could submit  *.tex/ *.txt/ *.html version of their protocol in the format for [[Guidelines|guidelines]]. Note that Quantum Protocol Zoo accepts only published article. The final decision on a request resides with the Quantum Protocol Zoo team.
The goal of this project is multifold. First, it aims to provide a compact and precise review of all the existing protocols in one place, such that it is accessible to both the young researchers motivated to enter into the field as well as quantum enthusiasts. Second, our platform enables the experts from academia and industry to find real-life use cases for the listed protocols and at the same time innovate on (or compose) the existing ones to tailor-made new protocols for the desired task. Finally, our main intention is to also develop a standardised form for protocol descriptions to make the community quantum-internet ready. At the same time, we emphasise that our purpose is not to point out the strengths or weaknesses of any particular protocol or functionality.

As a direct consequence of this effort, hosting and analysing the protocols in this fashion provides an underlying link between several protocols and would enable everyone to gain a deeper understanding of their working.

Welcome to The Quantum Protocol Zoo - Explore, Learn, Code and Implement Quantum Protocols. Cite Us

The quantum protocol zoo is an open repository of protocols for quantum networks. It provides a compact and canonical way to explore such protocols. Moreover, it allows for easy communication among computer scientists, engineers, and physicists on a single platform.


Getting started

Quantum Protocol Zoo is a repository of protocols for quantum networks. It presents a wiki of protocols for various functionalities classified in terms of the network stages for a quantum internet. It is important to note that, although there are several different ways of defining a protocol, we characterise it as something that involves more than one party. In particular, we define a protocol as a sequence of steps, specifically designed to accomplish a task. It may or may not involve an algorithm and could be run between trusted parties as well as parties who don't trust each other.

The wiki consists of two types of pages: The first type is a functionality page, describing a general task which can be realised in a quantum network (the "what"). The second type of page is a protocol page, which describes a specific protocol implementing the defined functionality (the "how"). These pages are listed in Protocol Library. Furthermore, a page on Supplementary Information has been provided for background information about quantum theory. Any information on How to Submit or contact can be found in the Navigation Menu on the sidebar. Every page has a Discussion section, where users are welcome to leave their comments.

The goal

The goal of this project is multifold. First, it aims to provide a compact and precise review of all the existing protocols in one place, such that it is accessible to both the young researchers motivated to enter into the field as well as quantum enthusiasts. Second, our platform enables the experts from academia and industry to find real-life use cases for the listed protocols and at the same time innovate on (or compose) the existing ones to tailor-made new protocols for the desired task. Finally, our main intention is to also develop a standardised form for protocol descriptions to make the community quantum-internet ready. At the same time, we emphasise that our purpose is not to point out the strengths or weaknesses of any particular protocol or functionality.

As a direct consequence of this effort, hosting and analysing the protocols in this fashion provides an underlying link between several protocols and would enable everyone to gain a deeper understanding of their working. With the rapid progress in quantum technologies and improvements in the current protocols, it is extremely beneficial to have a resource for all the quantum protocols in one place that can be regularly updated to keep track of the advancements, something that can not be achieved with the review articles or a book. We, therefore, invite everyone from the quantum information science community to join and contribute to this initiative in collectively making the quantum protocol zoo a crucial source for quantum protocols.
