This is a distributed quantum-enabled simulator which imitates the master-slave centralised-control distributed quantum computing system with interconnect communication between the nodes. Using this simulator, one can input any monolithic circuit as well as a distributed quantum computing topology and see the execution of the distributed algorithm happening in real time. The simulator maps the monolithic circuit to a distributed quantum computing achitecture and uses a master-slave relation with a centralized controller communicating to computing nodes in the network. Interlin-q can be used for designing and analysing novel distributed quantum algorithms for various distributed quantum computing architectures.
The method used to accomplish this is based on the following paper:
Distributed Quantum Computing and Network Control for Accelerated VQE
Stephen DiAdamo, Marco Ghibaudi, James Cruise (arXiv: 2101.02504)
The simulated architecture can be seen in the image below:
See https://interlin-q.github.io/Interlin-q for documentation. To setup Interlin-q, run the below command.
pip install -r requirements.txt
To run tests, run the below command.

In the template, the monolothic circuit can be added in the create_circuit function, which will automatically be distributed by the controller host and performed by the computing hosts. The operations needed to perform the monolithic circuit should be added layer by layer. The specific topology required to perform the circuit can be customised by changing the number of computing hosts required to perform the circuit and as well as changing the number of qubits required per computing hosts.
A tutorial of Distributed Quantum Phase Estimation algorithm can be found here.
