Towards practical and massively parallel quantum computing emulation for quantum chemistry

Honghui Shang, Yi Fan, Li Shen +5 more

Quantum computing is moving beyond its early stage and seeking for commercial applications in chemical and biomedical sciences. In the current noisy intermediate-scale quantum computing era, the quantum resource is too scarce to support these explorations. Therefore, it is valuable to emulate quantum computing on classical computers for developing quantum algorithms and validating quantum hardware. However, existing simulators mostly suffer from the memory bottleneck so developing the approaches for large-scale quantum chemistry calculations remains challenging. Here we demonstrate a high-performance and massively parallel variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) simulator based on matrix product states, combined with embedding theory for solving large-scale quantum computing emulation for quantum chemistry on HPC platforms. We apply this method to study the torsional barrier of ethane and the quantification of the protein-ligand interactions. Our largest simulation reaches 1000 qubits, and a performance of 216.9 PFLOP/s is achieved on a new Sunway supercomputer, which sets the state-of-the-art for quantum computing emulation for quantum chemistry.

An FPGA-Based Quantum Computing Emulation Framework Based on Serial-Parallel Architecture

Y. H. Lee, Mohamed Khalil-Hani, Muhammad Nadzir Marsono

Hardware emulation of quantum systems can mimic more efficiently the parallel behaviour of quantum computations, thus allowing higher processing speed-up than software simulations. In this paper, an efficient hardware emulation method that employs a serial-parallel hardware architecture targeted for field programmable gate array (FPGA) is proposed. Quantum Fourier transform and Grover’s search are chosen as case studies in this work since they are the core of many useful quantum algorithms. Experimental work shows that, with the proposed emulation architecture, a linear reduction in resource utilization is attained against the pipeline implementations proposed in prior works. The proposed work contributes to the formulation of a proof-of-concept baseline FPGA emulation framework with optimization on datapath designs that can be extended to emulate practical large-scale quantum circuits.

Large-Scale Emulation of Quantum Computing Based on Nonzero State Transitions

Minoru Fujishima, Kento Inai, Tetsuro Kitasho +1 more

Quantum computing realizes high-speed calculation with massive-parallel computing of quantum state transitions. The quantum computing emulator, however, must be able to manipulate exponentially increasing states as the problem scale increases. To reduce the number of quantum states to be manipulated in the emulator, we have focused on the quantum-state transitions in a quantum computer. In this paper, an emulator representing the state transitions with the location of a nonzero quantum state is proposed. As a result, the emulation of larger-scale quantum algorithms can be realized with a finite amount of hardware.
