contents With recent advances in the fields of quantum information theory [J. Pablo. Nature 12, 2172 (2021)] and the approach of the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) [J. Preskill. Quantum 2, 79 (2018)] computing era, it is necessary to provide tools for experimentation and prototyping that are able to keep pace with the rapidly progressing field of quantum computing. SeQUeNCe, an open source simulator of quantum network communication, aims to provide scalability and extensibility for the simulation of quantum networks, from the hardware level to the application and protocol level. In order to improve upon the usability of this software, we implement a graphical user interface which maintains the core principles of SeQUeNCe, scalability and extensibility, while enhancing the software's portability and ease of use. We demonstrate the capabilities of the graphical user interface through the construction of the existing Chicago metropolitan quantum network topology.
