Description
Despite fascinating developments in NISQ based quantum computing recently, simulations of quantum programs in classical HPC systems are still essential in validating quantum algorithms, understanding the noise effect, and designing robust quantum algorithms. To allow efficient large-scale noise-enabled simulation on state-of-the-art heterogeneous supercomputers, we developed NWQSim, a quantum circuit simulation environment that provides support for frontends such as Q#, Qiskit, OpenQASM, etc., and backends such as CPUs, NVIDIA/AMD GPUs, and Xeon-Phis, through state-vector and density matrix. In this talk, I will describe the recent development of NWQSim on OLCF Summit and NERSC Perlmutter supercomputers, particularly regarding to chemistry applications. NWQSim offers an HPC tool for large-scale, fast, and noisy-aware quantum system simulation. NWQSim is supported by the U.S. DOE Quantum Science Center (QSC).
