We present MQNS, a discrete-event simulator for rapid evaluation of entanglement routing under dynamic, heterogeneous configurations. MQNS supports runtime-configurable purification, swapping, memory management, and routing, within a unified qubit lifecycle and integrated link-architecture models. A modular, minimal design keeps MQNS architecture-agnostic, enabling fair, reproducible comparisons across paradigms and facilitating future emulation.
