Qibo: a framework for quantum simulation with hardware acceleration
This provides quantum computing developers with a user-friendly simulation tool that simplifies hardware implementation, addressing a growing demand in the field.
The authors tackled the need for efficient quantum simulation tools by developing Qibo, an open-source framework that enables fast evaluation of quantum circuits and adiabatic evolution through hardware acceleration, achieving performance improvements on multi-threading CPU and GPU devices.
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.
