Welcome to The Quantum Protocol Zoo- Explore, Learn and Implement Quantum Protcols
With the advent of vast number of Quantum Communication protocols, the Quantum Protocol Zoo, a repository of quantum protocols provides a platform which presents a compressed form of these protocols in order to communicate with the computer scientists, engineers and physicists at one time.
Getting started
Quantum Protocol Zoo encompasses a set of General Functionality Descriptions of different quantum and classical functionalities achieved by various quantum protocols. This description elicits the different methods used by various protocols. Each such method is described by a formal description illustrating a simple yet detailed outline of 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 section on relevant papers encompass all the various protocols published so far which imply similar method and properties. The different descriptions are interlinked by means of related 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, all esoteric concepts used in any description are explained via links to Supplementary Information.
Following is the structure for such formal descriptions.
Structure
'*'Each page is independent and does not require any extra information yet links are provided for better understanding of some concepts in all such descriptions.
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.
Tags: Any related page or list of protocols is connected by this section
Outline
A non-mathematical detailed outline which provides a rough idea of the method described. A figure is accommodated for most protocols.
Notations
Denotes variables used for equations in following sections on Properties and Pseudo Code.
Properties
A list of important information extracted from the protocol which is not obvious from the outline such as, Parameters (threshold values), security claim, success probability, adversarial assumption (see [[Quantum Adversary Definitions|Quantum Adversary Definitions), setup assumptions, etc..
Pseudo Code
Mathematical step-wise protocol algorithm
Resources
- Network Stage:
- Technological Readiness:
Relevant papers
Papers one would find easy to understand after reading the concerned formal description.
Submission Format
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. Note that Quantum Protocol Zoo accepts only published article. The final decision on a request resides with the Quantum Protocol Zoo team.
