Utilizing GPGPUs for simulating quantum circuit

Yuanfei Xu, Lixing Zhang

Abstract State vector describing the state of an n-qubit quantum system requires 2ncomplex numbers, which means the memory usage of simulating a quantum computer grows exponentially with respect to the number of qubits. For the memory of a single hardware is limited, distributed computation is necessary for simulating quantum systems with large number of qubits. In our proposal, we developed a multi-GPU solution. State vector is divided into several chunks and allocated to different GPU device. Making it possible to simulate quantum circuits of any size on appropriate GPU cluster. We analyse the theoretical computation resource and come to the conclusion that memory copy bandwidth between GPUs is the bottleneck of time consumption. Total execution time is O(logDN/DN) if peer-to-peer memory copy is supported, otherwise time elapsed is O(logDN) where DN is number of GPU devices. Memory consumption on one GPU is O(1/DN).

Method of numerical simulation of interacting quantum gas kinetics on finite momentum lattice

Kuznetsov, I. O., Petr F. Kartsev

We present the efficient and universal numerical method for simulation of interacting quantum gas kinetics on a finite momentum lattice, based on the Boltzmann equation for occupation numbers. Usually, the study of models with two-particle interaction generates the excessive amount of terms in the equations essentially limiting the possible system size. Here we employ the original analytical transformation to decrease the scaling index of the amount of calculations. As a result, lattice sizes as large as 48x48x48 can be simulated, allowing to study realistic problems with complex interaction models. The method was applied to the simulation of weakly interacting Fermi and Bose gases where we calculated the relaxation times depending on the momentum and temperature.

Simulating Quantum Computers Using OpenCL

Adam Kelly

Quantum computing is an emerging technology, promising a paradigm shift in computing, and allowing for speedups in many different problems. However, quantum devices are still in their early stages, most with only a small number qubits. This places a reliance on simulation to develop quantum algorithms and to verify these devices. While there exists many algorithms for the simulation of quantum circuits, there is (at the time of writing) no tools which use OpenCL to parallelize this simulation, thereby taking advantage of devices such as GPUs while still remaining portable. In this paper, such a tool is described, including optimizations in areas such as gate application. This leads to a new approach that outperforms other popular state vector based simulators. An implementation of the proposed simulator is available at https://qcgpu.github.io.

Boosting quantum evolutions using Trotter-Suzuki algorithms on GPUs

Carlos Bederián, Axel D. Dente

Abstract. The evolution calculation of quantum systems represents a great challenge nowadays. Numerical implementations typically scale ex-ponentially with the size of the system, demanding high amounts of re-sources. General Purpose Graphics Processor Units (GPGPUs) enable a new range of possibilities for numerical simulations of quantum systems. In this work we implemented, optimized and compared the quantum Trotter-Suzuki algorithm running on both CPUs and GPUs. 1

Quantum computing with GPGPUs

Καραπάνου, Μαρία Α., Καραπάνου, Μαρία Α.

The rapid development of the quantum computing field has created the need for effective study tools.Although the physical implementation of quantum systems is still at an early stage, the simulation of quantum circuits using classical computational resources offers a feasible and practical way for experimentation and evaluation.This work focuses on creating functions that enable the implementation of basic quantum gates and circuits on graphics cards (GPUs).Functions were developed that include fundamental operations for the representation and execution of quantum gates and circuits.Through examples and tests, their performance is evaluated, while a simple command-line interface is also provided so that it can be easily used by individuals without prior experience in the field.

Numerical Solver for the out-of-equilibrium Boltzmann Collision operator: 2D second-order momentum discretisation

Indrajit Wadgaonkar, Michael Wais, Marco Battiato

Quantum Boltzmann equation (QBE) is a viable option to study strongly out-of-equilibrium thermalisation dynamics which are becoming increasingly critical for many novel physical applications like Ultrafast thermalisation, Terahertz radiation etc. However its applicability is greatly limited by the impractical scaling of the solution to the collision integral in QBE. In our previous work[1] we had proposed a numerical solver for the solution of the collision integral in QBE and then improved on it[2] to include second degree momentum discretisation and adaptive time stepping, thus making it fully compatible to the standard numerical solvers for the transport part of QBE. The improved solver is numerically efficient and extremely robust against inherent numerical instabilities.Here we showcase the applications of this improved solver to a simple 2D system, doped graphene, and analyse thermalisations of the introduced out-of-equilibrium populations.
