Quantum Fourier Transform Simulation Based on "Songshan" Supercomputer System

Abstract

The "Songshan" supercomputer system is a new generation of heterogeneous supercomputer cluster independently developed by China.The CPU and DCU accelerators it carries are all independently developed by my country.In order to expand the scientific computing ecology of the platform and verify the feasibility of quantum computing research on this platform,the paper uses a heterogeneous programming model to implement a heterogeneous version of the quantum Fourier transform simulation on the "Songshan" supercomputer system.The computing hotspots of the program are allocated to run on the DCU;then MPI is used to enable multiple processes on a single computing node to realize the concurrent data transmission and calculation of the DCU accelerator;finally,the hiding of computing and communication prevents the DCU from being in the middle of data transmission.The experiment implements a 44 Qubits-scale quantum Fourier transform simulation on a supercomputing system for the first time.The results show that the heterogeneous version of the quantum Fourier transform module makes full use of the computing resources of the DCU accelerator and achieves 11.594 compared to the traditional CPU version.The speedup ratio is high,and it has good scalability on the cluster.This implementation method provides a reference for the simulation implementation and optimization of other quantum algorithms on the "Songshan" supercomputer system.
