Title: Quantum Simulation of Consciousness

Jincheng Zhang

This paper explores the ambitious goal of developing a quantum simulation framework capable of accurately modeling the computational processes of the human brain. The core claim is that by leveraging quantum algorithms, we can simulate the intricate neural networks within the brain with a fidelity exceeding classical approximations, offering potential insights into the fundamental principles underlying consciousness. We investigate a novel approach combining quantum state manipulation with specific algorithmic design to mimic neural network dynamics, highlighting the challenges and opportunities inherent in this endeavor. The research will address key concepts such as entanglement, superposition, and quantum decoherence, while outlining a preliminary framework for quantum neural network simulation. The paper concludes with a discussion of the potential ramifications and limitations of this research, emphasizing the need for further theoretical and experimental investigation.

Performance Characterization of Quantum Simulation in CUDA-Q

Ella Rubinshtein, Jocelyn Li, Margaret Martonosi

The ongoing rise of interest in quantum computing (QC) is fueling considerable advances in quantum algorithms, as well as work on accelerating their simulation before sufficiently-capable QC prototypes are available. Since classical state-vector simulation time of QC systems scales exponentially with the number of qubits, QC simulator performance plays a significant role in algorithm and systems development. This paper provides a systems-level performance characterization of NVIDIA's CUDA Quantum (CUDA-Q) package, across several key metrics, on multiple GPU types. Our goal is to identify patterns or limitations in the implementation that may suggest future optimization opportunities. Our characterization also helps users on mid-scale GPU clusters plan likely runtime trajectories with problem size.11Professor Martonosi's research is supported in part by the US Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation.
