High-Level Acceleration of Quantum Simulation Frameworks on Reconfigurable Hardware
DescriptionDue to noise sensitivity of, and cost of access to, quantum hardware, quantum circuit simulators are critical for experimentation and research. Most publicly available simulators are time-shared through cloud environments, while local simulators running on consumer-grade hardware suffer from poor execution times. Therefore, the acceleration and customization of quantum simulations using dedicated hardware accelerators such as FPGAs can provide faster design iterations, and cost-effective solutions for quantum computing research. FPGA hardware development is challenging due to complex and heterogeneous design flows among FPGA vendors, increasing entry barriers for quantum application development using FPGAs. In this work, we present a high-level framework for quantum circuit simulation on FPGA backends, leading to faster quantum application development and algorithm prototyping. The proposed framework can be integrated with state-of-the-art quantum simulators such as IBM Qiskit. We evaluate the proposed framework using the Alveo-U200 and Alveo-U250 FPGAs as simulation backends, and multidimensional-quantum-convolution and Grover's algorithm as case studies.
