  Similar to the classical Internet, the quantum Internet will require
knowledge regarding link qualities used for purposes such as optimal route
selection. This is commonly accomplished by performing link-level tomography
with or without purification -- a.k.a. quantum link bootstrapping. Meanwhile,
the gate selection and the resource (Bell pair) selection for a task must be
coordinated beforehand. This thesis introduces the RuleSet-based communication
protocol aimed for supporting the autonomous coordination of quantum operations
among distant nodes, with minimal classical packet transmission. This thesis
also discusses the RuleSet-based quantum link bootstrapping protocol, which
consists of recurrent purifications and link-level tomography, evaluated over a
Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo simulation with noisy systems modeled on real world
quality hardware. Given a 10km MeetInTheMiddle based two-node system, each with
100 memory qubits ideally connected to the optical fiber, the Recurrent Single
selection - Single error purification (RSs-Sp) protocol is capable of improving
the fidelity from an average input $F_{r}=0.675$ to approximately
$F_{r}=0.865$. The system gets noisier with longer channels, in which case
errors may develop faster than the purification gain. For a noisier system with
a longer channel length, the double selection-based purification shows an
advantage for improving the fidelity.
