论文摘要
我们提出了Qibo,这是一种新的开源软件,用于快速评估量子电路和绝热演化,以充分利用硬件加速器。对量子计算的兴趣日益增长,以及量子硬件设备的最新发展激发了新的高级计算工具的开发,该工具着重于性能和使用简单。在这项工作中,我们引入了一个新的量子模拟框架,该框架使开发人员能够将硬件或平台实现的所有复杂方面委托给库,以便他们可以专注于当前的问题和量子算法。该软件是从头开始设计的,以模拟性能,代码简单性和用户友好的接口作为目标目标。它利用了硬件加速度,例如多线程CPU,单个GPU和多GPU设备。
We present Qibo, a new open-source software for fast evaluation of quantum circuits and adiabatic evolution which takes full advantage of hardware accelerators. The growing interest in quantum computing and the recent developments of quantum hardware devices motivates the development of new advanced computational tools focused on performance and usage simplicity. In this work we introduce a new quantum simulation framework that enables developers to delegate all complicated aspects of hardware or platform implementation to the library so they can focus on the problem and quantum algorithms at hand. This software is designed from scratch with simulation performance, code simplicity and user friendly interface as target goals. It takes advantage of hardware acceleration such as multi-threading CPU, single GPU and multi-GPU devices.
