Description
Quantum circuit simulation on classical computers, especially large-scale HPC systems, is useful for characterizing, benchmarking, and validating near-term quantum hardware. In this talk, I will present the tensor network quantum virtual machine (TNQVM), which is a configurable tensor network-based simulator supporting both exact and approximate quantum circuit simulation. I will describe the various tensor network representations enabling the flexibility and scalability of the simulator. I will also report performance benchmarks of TNQVM on GPU-accelerated platforms, including the Summit supercomputer.
