Scalable Quantum Molecular Generation via GPU-Accelerated Tensor-Network Simulation

Yu-Cheng Xiao, Jen-Yu Chang, Tzu-Ling Kuo +7 more

We propose Scalable Quantum Molecular Generation (SQMG), a variational quantum-circuit for sampling molecular graphs using chemical priors on atoms and bonds. SQMG assigns a fixed 3-qubit register to each heavy atom and reuses a single 2-qubit bond register to generate bonds sequentially, yielding an ''atom no-reuse, bond reuse'' architecture with linear qubit scaling. Measurement results are mapped to molecular graphs via lightweight classical decoding with structural constraints. In CUDA-Q, we benchmark the state-vector simulation (CPU/GPU) and the tensor-network simulation (GPU). At $N=8$ heavy atoms, the state-vector simulator (GPU) and the tensor-network simulator (GPU) achieve speeds of up to $4.5\times 10^{4}$ and $2.2\times 10^{3}$ over the state-vector (CPU) baseline, respectively. Crucially, tensor-network simulation extends exact simulation to $N=40$ heavy atoms, where state-vector methods become memory-limited. For training, Bayesian optimization outperforms COBYLA on a Validity$\times$Uniqueness objective, and the same architecture supports \textit{de novo} generation, scaffold decoration, and linker design. Overall, SQMG provides a scalable, reproducible testbed for evaluating accelerated tensor-network simulation and future quantum molecular generation algorithms.

ExaTN: Scalable GPU-Accelerated High-Performance Processing of General Tensor Networks at Exascale

Dmitry I. Lyakh, Thien Nguyen, Daniel Claudino +2 more

We present ExaTN (Exascale Tensor Networks), a scalable GPU-accelerated C++ library which can express and process tensor networks on shared- as well as distributed-memory high-performance computing platforms, including those equipped with GPU accelerators. Specifically, ExaTN provides the ability to build, transform, and numerically evaluate tensor networks with arbitrary graph structures and complexity. It also provides algorithmic primitives for the optimization of tensor factors inside a given tensor network in order to find an extremum of a chosen tensor network functional, which is one of the key numerical procedures in quantum many-body theory and quantum-inspired machine learning. Numerical primitives exposed by ExaTN provide the foundation for composing rather complex tensor network algorithms. We enumerate multiple application domains which can benefit from the capabilities of our library, including condensed matter physics, quantum chemistry, quantum circuit simulations, as well as quantum and classical machine learning, for some of which we provide preliminary demonstrations and performance benchmarks just to emphasize a broad utility of our library.

Vectorized Symmetric and Fermionic Tensor Network Implementations for GPU-Accelerated Variational Monte Carlo

Si-Jing Du, Johnnie Gray, Ao Chen +1 more

Variational Monte Carlo (VMC) calculations based on tensor networks (TN) have recently achieved competitive accuracy in ground-state calculations of strongly correlated spin and fermionic systems. However, existing tensor network VMC (TN-VMC) algorithms have not been formulated in a manner that can fully utilize GPU acceleration. We tackle the key missing ingredient, namely, the vectorized evaluation of tensor network amplitudes and tensor network operations. This ensures high GPU utilization by batching over computations with identical structure. In particular, we show how to achieve vectorization for the practically relevant case of abelian symmetric tensor networks (which includes fermionic tensor networks) by developing a ``flat'' tensor network formalism for block-sparse tensor representation and contraction. Using this, we construct a GPU-adapted symmetric TN-VMC workflow with batched tensor network computation. In the two-dimensional Fermi--Hubbard model, we demonstrate a GPU speedup of up to $300 \times$ over single core CPU implementations, for fermionic TN variational wavefunctions.
