The numerical simulation of quantum circuits is an indispensable tool for development, verification and validation of hybrid quantum-classical algorithms on near-term quantum co-processors. The emergence of exascale high-performance computing (HPC) platforms presents new opportunities for pushing the boundaries of quantum circuit simulation. We present a modernized version of the Tensor Network Quantum Virtual Machine (TNQVM) which serves as a quantum circuit simulation backend in the eXtreme-scale ACCelerator (XACC) framework. The new version is based on the general purpose, scalable tensor network processing library, ExaTN, and provides multiple configurable quantum circuit simulators enabling either exact quantum circuit simulation via the full tensor network contraction, or approximate quantum state representations via suitable tensor factorizations. Upon necessity, stochastic noise modeling from real quantum processors is incorporated into the simulations by modeling quantum channels with Kraus tensors. By combining the portable XACC quantum programming frontend and the scalable ExaTN numerical backend we introduce an end-to-end virtual quantum development environment which can scale from laptops to future exascale platforms. We report initial benchmarks of our framework which include a demonstration of the distributed execution, incorporation of quantum decoherence models, and simulation of the random quantum circuits used for the certification of quantum supremacy on the Google Sycamore superconducting architecture.

Most research in quantum computing today is performed against simulations of quantum computers rather than true quantum computers. Simulating a quantum computer entails implementing all of the unitary operators corresponding to the quantum gates as t ensors. For high numbers of qubits, performing tensor multiplications for these simulations becomes quite expensive, since $N$-qubit gates correspond to $2^{N}$-dimensional tensors. One way to accelerate such a simulation is to use field programmable gate array (FPGA) hardware to efficiently compute the matrix multiplications. Though FPGAs can efficiently perform tensor multiplications, they are memory bound, having relatively small block random access memory. One way to potentially reduce the memory footprint of a quantum computing system is to represent it as a tensor network; tensor networks are a formalism for representing compositions of tensors wherein economical tensor contractions are readily identified. Thus we explore tensor networks as a means to reducing the memory footprint of quantum computing systems and broadly accelerating simulations of such systems.

In a recent breakthrough, Bravyi, Gosset and K{o}nig (BGK) [Science, 2018] proved that simulating constant depth quantum circuits takes classical circuits $Omega(log n)$ depth. In our paper, we first formalise their notion of simulation, which we cal l possibilistic simulation. Then, from well-known results, we deduce that their circuits can be simulated in depth $O(log^{2} n)$. Separately, we construct explicit classical circuits that can simulate any depth-$d$ quantum circuit with Clifford and $t$ $T$-gates in depth $O(d+t)$. Our classical circuits use ${text{NOT, AND, OR}}$ gates of fan-in $leq 2$.

Verification of NISQ era quantum devices demands fast classical simulation of large noisy quantum circuits. We present an algorithm based on the stabilizer formalism that can efficiently simulate noisy stabilizer circuits. Additionally, the protocol can efficiently simulate a large set of multi-qubit mixed states that are not mixtures of stabilizer states. The existence of these bound states was previously only known for odd-dimensional systems like qutrits. The algorithm also has the favorable property that circuits with depolarizing noise are simulated much faster than unitary circuits. This work builds upon a similar algorithm by Bennink et al. (Phys. Rev. A 95, 062337) and utilizes a framework by Pashayan et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 070501).
We describe a quantum-assisted machine learning (QAML) method in which multivariate data is encoded into quantum states in a Hilbert space whose dimension is exponentially large in the length of the data vector. Learning in this space occurs through applying a low-depth quantum circuit with a tree tensor network (TTN) topology, which acts as an unsupervised feature extractor to identify the most relevant quantum states in a data-driven fashion. This unsupervised feature extractor then feeds a supervised linear classifier and encodes the output in a small-dimensional quantum register. In contrast to previous work on emph{quantum-inspired} TTN classifiers, in which the embedding map and class decision weights did not map the data to well-defined quantum states, we present an approach that can be implemented on gate-based quantum computing devices. In particular, we identify an embedding map with accuracy similar to exponential machines (Novikov emph{et al.}, arXiv:1605.03795), but which produces valid quantum states from classical data vectors, and utilize manifold-based gradient optimization schemes to produce isometric operations mapping quantum states to a register of qubits defining a class decision. We detail methods for efficiently obtaining one- and two-point correlation functions of the decision boundary vectors of the quantum model, which can be used for model interpretability, as well as methods for obtaining classifications from partial data vectors. Further, we show that the use of isometric tensors can significantly aid in the human interpretability of the correlation functions extracted from the decision weights, and may produce models that are less susceptible to adversarial perturbations. We demonstrate our methodologies in applications utilizing the MNIST handwritten digit dataset and a multivariate timeseries dataset of human activity recognition.
Limited quantum memory is one of the most important constraints for near-term quantum devices. Understanding whether a small quantum computer can simulate a larger quantum system, or execute an algorithm requiring more qubits than available, is both of theoretical and practical importance. In this Letter, we introduce cluster parameters $K$ and $d$ of a quantum circuit. The tensor network of such a circuit can be decomposed into clusters of size at most $d$ with at most $K$ qubits of inter-cluster quantum communication. We propose a cluster simulation scheme that can simulate any $(K,d)$-clustered quantum circuit on a $d$-qubit machine in time roughly $2^{O(K)}$, with further speedups possible when taking more fine-grained circuit structure into account. We show how our scheme can be used to simulate clustered quantum systems -- such as large molecules -- that can be partitioned into multiple significantly smaller clusters with weak interactions among them. By using a suitable clustered ansatz, we also experimentally demonstrate that a quantum variational eigensolver can still achieve the desired performance for estimating the energy of the BeH$_2$ molecule while running on a physical quantum device with half the number of required qubits.
