Original Kurzfassung:
Recent years have seen unprecedented advance in
the design and control of quantum computers. Nonetheless, their
applicability is still restricted and access remains expensive.
Therefore, a substantial amount of quantum algorithms research
still relies on simulating quantum circuits on classical hardware.
However, due to the sheer complexity of simulating real quantum
computers, many simulators unrealistically simplify the problem
and instead simulate perfect quantum hardware, i.e., they do not
consider errors caused by the fragile nature of quantum systems.
Stochastic quantum simulation provides a conceptually suitable
solution to this problem: physically motivated errors are applied
in a probabilistic fashion throughout the simulation. In this work,
we propose to use decision diagrams, as well as concurrent
executions, to substantially reduce resource-requirements?which
are still daunting?for stochastic quantum circuit simulation.
Backed up by rigorous theory, empirical studies show that this
approach allows for a substantially faster and much more scalable
simulation for certain quantum circuits.
