Simulation of Quantum Computations: Passing through the Bottleneck by Dedicated Decision Diagrams
Sprache der Bezeichnung:

Original Kurzfassung:
Quantum computing is getting real. Nevertheless, corresponding quantum applications still need to
be evaluated on conventional machines ? requiring powerful and efficient simulation engines. Thus
far, all state-of-the-art solutions are limited to a small number of qubits only and require days or even
weeks to conduct the desired simulations ? even if super-computers with petabytes of distributed memory
and thousands of compute nodes are employed. Here, we are proposing an alternative approach which
aims for passing this bottleneck by dedicated decision diagrams. A preliminary implementation of the
proposed idea already showed that this allows to simulate several applications in minutes rather than
days/weeks on a simple desktop machine. Within this project, we are now aiming to lift these basic
research results to the application level.
