Acceleration of High-Dimensional Quantum Computing Simulator QuantumSkynet

This paper focuses on the acceleration of QuantumSkynet, a high-dimensional quantum computing simulator. QuantumSkynet enables operations with qudits (generalized quantum bits), by executing quantum circuits, which are fundamentally based on tensor products and Kronecker operations. However, these integral functions within the simulator are currently not optimized. The proposed acceleration method involves a combination of hardware and software enhancements. Hardware acceleration will be achieved through the use of graphical processing units (GPUs) and multicore processing units, while software acceleration will be implemented via the Eigen library. These enhancements can significantly improve the performance of QuantumSkynet, with speedups of up to 100x. This makes it possible to simulate larger quantum systems and algorithms, which is essential for the development of practical quantum computing applications. For example, the proposed method could be used to accelerate the simulation of quantum systems with many qubits, or quantum algorithms with numerous steps. The results of this study suggest that the proposed method can be used to accelerate the performance of future high-dimensional quantum computing simulators and to enable the development of practical quantum computing applications.
