QuantumSkynet: A High-Dimensional Quantum Computing Simulator

Andrés Giraldo Carvajal, Daniel A. Duque-Ramirez, José A. Jaramillo-Villegas

The use of classical computers to simulate quantum computing has been successful in aiding the study of quantum algorithms and circuits that are too complex to examine analytically. Current implementations of quantum computing simulators are limited to two-level quantum systems. Recent advances in high-dimensional quantum computing systems have demonstrated the viability of working with multi-level superposition and entanglement. These advances allow an agile increase in the number of dimensions of the system while maintaining quantum entanglement, achieving higher encoding of information and making quantum algorithms less vulnerable to decoherence and computational errors. In this paper, we introduce QuantumSkynet, a novel high-dimensional cloud-based quantum computing simulator. This platform allows simulations of qudit-based quantum algorithms. We also propose a unified generalization of high-dimensional quantum gates, which are available for simulations in QuantumSkynet. Finally, we report simulations and their results for qudit-based versions of the Deutsch--Jozsa and quantum phase estimation algorithms using QuantumSkynet.

QuDiet: A classical simulation platform for qubit‐qudit hybrid quantum systems

Turbasu Chatterjee, Arnav Das, Subhayu Kumar Bala +3 more

Abstract In recent years, numerous research advancements have extended the limit of classical simulation of quantum algorithms. Although, most of the state‐of‐the‐art classical simulators are only limited to binary quantum systems, which restrict the classical simulation of higher‐dimensional quantum computing systems. Through recent developments in higher‐dimensional quantum computing systems, it is realised that implementing qudits improves the overall performance of a quantum algorithm by increasing memory space and reducing the asymptotic complexity of a quantum circuit. Hence, in this article, QuDiet , a state‐of‐the‐art user‐friendly python‐based higher‐dimensional quantum computing simulator is introduced. QuDiet offers multi‐valued logic operations by utilising generalised quantum gates with an abstraction so that any naive user can simulate qudit systems with ease as compared to the existing ones. Various benchmark quantum circuits is simulated in QuDiet and show the considerable speedup in simulation time as compared to the other simulators without loss in precision. Finally, QuDiet provides a full qubit‐qudit hybrid quantum simulator package with quantum circuit templates of well‐known quantum algorithms for fast prototyping and simulation. Comprehensive simulation up to 20 qutrits circuit on depth 80 on QuDiet was successfully achieved. The complete code and packages of QuDiet is available at https://github.com/LegacYFTw/QuDiet .

Qudits and High-Dimensional Quantum Computing

Yuchen Wang, Zixuan Hu, Barry C. Sanders +1 more

Qudit is a multi-level computational unit alternative to the conventional 2-level qubit. Compared to qubit, qudit provides a larger state space to store and process information, and thus can provide reduction of the circuit complexity, simplification of the experimental setup and enhancement of the algorithm efficiency. This review provides an overview of qudit-based quantum computing covering a variety of topics ranging from circuit building, algorithm design, to experimental methods. We first discuss the qudit gate universality and a variety of qudit gates including the pi/8 gate, the SWAP gate, and the multi-level-controlled gate. We then present the qudit version of several representative quantum algorithms including the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm, the quantum Fourier transform, and the phase estimation algorithm. Finally we discuss various physical realizations for qudit computation such as the photonic platform, iron trap, and nuclear magnetic resonance.

High-Dimensional Quantum State Computation Paradigm

Jincheng Zhang

This paper introduces a novel quantum computation paradigm, termed the "High-Dimensional Quantum State Computation Paradigm," designed to effectively address the challenges posed by high-dimensional quantum states. Traditional quantum algorithms often fail to fully exploit the potential of non-linear operations in manipulating these states. This work proposes a new approach that leverages specific quantum circuit designs and optimization techniques to enhance the computational power and efficiency of solving problems involving high-dimensional quantum systems. We present a detailed model and preliminary experimental results demonstrating the efficacy of this paradigm in a specific, complex quantum state problem. The core mechanism centers around the strategic application of non-linear quantum gates to effectively explore the state space of high-dimensional quantum systems. This approach provides a significant advancement in the ability to tackle problems that are currently intractable for existing quantum algorithms.

MQT Qudits Simulation and Compilation for Mixed-Dimensional Quantum Computing

Mato, Kevin, Wille, Robert, Technische Universität München

Quantum computing promises to overcome classical limitations, but current quantum systems usually only use qubits. Mixed-dimensional approaches with qudits, or quantum digits, offer more potential, but are held back by a lack of software. This thesis develops methods and tools to simulate and compile mixed-dimensional circuits, integrated in the framework MQT Qudits, paving the way for the next generation of quantum computing.

MQT Qudits: A Software Framework for Mixed-Dimensional Quantum Computing

Kevin Mato, Martin Ringbauer, Lukas Burgholzer +1 more

Quantum computing holds great promise for surpassing the limits of classical devices in many fields. Despite impressive developments, however, current research is primarily focused on qubits. At the same time, quantum hardware based on multi-level, qudit, systems offers a range of advantages, including expanded gate sets, higher information density, and improved computational efficiency, which might play a key role in overcoming not only the limitations of classical machines but also of current qubit-based quantum devices. However, working with qudits faces challenges not only in experimental control but particularly in algorithm development and quantum software. In this work, we introduce MQT Qudits, an open-source tool, which, as part of the Munich Quantum Toolkit (MQT), is built to assist in designing and implementing applications for mixed-dimensional qudit devices. We specify a standardized language for mixed-dimension systems and discuss circuit specification, compilation to hardware gate sets, efficient circuit simulation, and open challenges. MQT Qudits is available at github.com/cda-tum/mqt-qudits and on pypi at pypi.org/project/mqt.qudits.
