Description

Due to the underlying exponential complexity of quantum circuit simulation, efficient data-structures such as decision diagrams, tensor networks, etc. are key. Each of those emerged independently with differing perspectives, terminologies, and backgrounds in mind. In this talk, we provide an overview of the different data-structures for quantum circuit simulation and discuss their respective pros and cons. With this, we hope to provide an intuition on the complementary approaches as well as some guidance how to use their full potential.
