  • Quantum trajectory methods reduce the computational overhead of simulating noisy quantum systems, approximating them with $m$ stochastically sampled $2^n$-entry quantum statevectors rather than exact $2^{2n}$-entry density matrices. Recently, Pre-Trajectory Sampling with Batched Execution (PTSBE) has dramatically increased the data collection rate of these methods. While statevector PTSBE has demonstrated data collection speedups of over $10^6 \times$, tensor network implementations only achieved $\sim 15 \times$ speedup. This comparatively modest tensor network advantage stemmed from 1) contraction path recalculations, 2) sequential tensor network sampling, and 3) inflexible/unoptimized contraction hyperparameters. In this manuscript, we increase PTSBE's tensor network data collection rate to more than $10^8\times$ that of traditional trajectories methods by developing 1) error-independent unified path variation, 2) non-degenerate tensor network sampling, and 3) a flexible/optimized contraction framework. While our methods are particularly powerful for accelerating non-proportional sampling, we also demonstrate a more than $1000\times$ speedup for more general quantum simulations.
