| contents | Advances in quantum simulator technology is increasingly required because research on quantum algorithms is becoming more sophisticated and complex. State vector simulation utilizes CPU and memory resources in computing nodes exponentially with respect to the number of qubits; furthermore, in a variational quantum algorithm, the large number of repeated runs by classical optimization is also a heavy load. This problem has been addressed by preparing numerous computing nodes or simulation frameworks that work effectively. This study aimed to accelerate quantum simulation using two newly proposed methods: to efficiently utilize limited computational resources by adjusting the ratio of the MPI and distributed processing parallelism corresponding to the target problem settings and to slim down the Hamiltonian by considering the effect of accuracy on the calculation result. Ground-state energy calculations of fermionic model were performed using variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) on an HPC cluster with up to 1024 FUJITSU Processor A64FX connected to each other by InfiniBand; the processor is also used on supercomputer Fugaku. We achieved 200 times higher speed over VQE simulations and demonstrated 32 qubits ground-state energy calculations in acceptable time. This result indicates that > 30 qubit state vector simulations can be realistically utilized to further research on variational quantum algorithms. |
