At the beginning of the summer, IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center launched a new CUDA Quantum simulator, which can be run on the Karolina and Barbora supercomputers in Ostrava. It is available to all IT4Innovations users with an active project and, thus, also to Czech companies.
“The simulator is relatively easy to start with,” explains Silvie Illésová from the IT4Innovations Quantum Computing Lab. “The documentation contains an illustrative example that anyone can try out after installation,” adds Illésová. Currently, QPU calculations are simulated on supercomputer GPUs, and tasks can be programmed in Python. In addition, the use of a coda environment makes its installation user-friendly.
CUDA Quantum facilitates hybrid application development and significantly increases the productivity and scalability of quantum computing. It enables 30 qubits to be simulated seamlessly on a single Karolina supercomputer GPU. “The quantum simulator is widely used because current quantum computers are not yet suitable for proof-of-concept of new algorithms. The QPU simulation on GPUs makes this simulator ideal for tasks employing a larger number of qubits and for hybrid algorithms combining classical high-performance computing and quantum computing,” says Silvia Illesova.
