Physical models

Physical models are the models to describe qubits or entanglements. SimQN provides an interface (named QuantumModel) to implement multiple physical models. Currently, SimQN present 2 models, a full functional qubit model and a high level entanglement model. Both models are the child classes of QuantumModel. By extend QuantumModel, other physical models can be built.

QuantumModel class provides two abstract motheds, storage_error_model and transfer_error_model to describe the errors in quantum memory and channels. storage_error_model takes the storage time t and other parameters as the input. It change the quantum state accordingly. transfer_error_model takes the channel length length and other parameters as the input.
