A Neuromorphic Computing-Based Accelerator for Quantum Algorithm Acceleration
Jincheng Zhang
Abstract
This paper explores the design and potential of a neuromorphic computing-based accelerator for quantum algorithms. The core idea is to leverage the inherent parallelism of neuromorphic hardware to significantly speed up the computationally intensive aspects of quantum algorithms. We propose a methodology for decomposing complex quantum algorithms into a set of parallelizable tasks, which are then mapped onto a neuromorphic architecture. The architecture utilizes the key characteristics of neuromorphic systems—namely, synaptic plasticity and dynamic connection adjustment—to optimize the execution of these quantum tasks. This approach aims to address the significant computational bottleneck currently limiting the practical application of many quantum algorithms. The design incorporates key mathematical concepts from quantum mechanics and neuromorphic computing, providing a framework for future research and development in this emerging field. The paper outlines the architectural considerations, the mapping strategies, and discusses the potential for achieving substantial performance gains. ---
