SUMMARY:Large-Scale Multi-Node Simulations of Z2 Gauge Theory Quantum Circ
 uits Using Google Cloud Platform
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\n\nLarge-Scale Multi-Node Simulations of Z2 Gauge The
 ory Quantum Circuits Using Google Cloud Platform\n\nGustafson, Peters\n\nS
 imulating quantum field theories on a quantum computer is one of the most 
 exciting fundamental physics applications of quantum information science. 
 Dynamical time evolution of quantum fields is a challenge that is beyond t
 he capabilities of classical computing, but it can teach us important less
 ons about the fundamental fabric of space and time.\n\nWhether we may answ
 er scientific questions of interest using near-term quantum computing hard
 ware is an open question that requires a detailed simulation study of quan
 tum noise.  Here we present a large scale simulation study powered by a mu
 lti-node implementation of qsim using the Google Cloud Platform.  We addit
 ionally employ newly-developed GPU capabilities in qsim and show how Tenso
 r Processing Units --- specialized machine learning ASICs --- may be used 
 to dramatically speed up the simulation of large quantum circuits.  We dem
 onstrate the use of high performance cloud computing for simulating Z2 qua
 ntum field theories on system sizes up to 36 qubits.  We find this lattice
  size is not able to simulate our problem and observable combination with 
 sufficient accuracy, implying more challenging observables of interest for
  this theory are likely beyond the reach of classical computation using ex
 act circuit simulation.\n\nTag: Online Only, Algorithms, Quantum Computing
