Quantum Computing Simulation on VLIW Microprocessors

This paper presents the development of a quantum computing simulator on the Elbrus VLIW microprocessor architecture. The simulator is designed to efficiently simulate quantum algorithms by leveraging the parallelism and instruction-level optimization provided by the Elbrus processors. Key features of the simulator include integration with the Elbrus Media Library (EML) to accelerate matrix operations, support for quantum circuit design through a graphical user interface, and the ability to simulate up to 30 qubits using standard storage methods. Additionally, the use of sparse matrix techniques allows for the simulation of larger quantum systems, potentially up to 35 qubits, within a 32 GB memory limit. The results highlight the potential of using VLIW microprocessors for quantum computing simulations and provide insights into the future scalability of such systems.
