• Abstract summary: We propose a scheme based on cutting edges of undirected graphs. This scheme cuts edges of undirected graphs with large tree width to obtain many undirected subgraphs. It can simulate 120-qubit 3-regular QAOA algorithm on 4096-core supercomputer.

• Abstract: Simulation of quantum computing on supercomputers is a significant research topic, which plays a vital role in quantum algorithm verification, error-tolerant verification and other applications. Tensor network contraction based on density matrix is an important single-amplitude simulation strategy, but it is hard to execute on the distributed computing systems currently. In this paper, we dive deep into this problem, and propose a scheme based on cutting edges of undirected graphs. This scheme cuts edges of undirected graphs with large tree width to obtain many undirected subgraphs with small tree width, and these subgraphs contracted on different computing cores. The contraction results of slave cores are summarized in the master node, which is consistent with the original tensor network contraction. Thus, we can simulate the larger scale quantum circuit than single core. Moreover, it's an NP-hard problem to find the global optimum cutting edges, and we propose a search strategy based on a heuristic algorithm to approach it. In order to verify the effectiveness of our scheme, we conduct tests based on QAOA algorithm, and it can simulate 120-qubit 3-regular QAOA algorithm on 4096-core supercomputer, which greatly exceeds the simulation scale on a single core of 100-qubit.

  We show that Variational Quantum Algorithms can be a viable alternative to classical algorithms in the near future.
