Architecture of Quantum Computing Software as Cloud Services
Based on the QC software architecture, HUAWEI CLOUD provides a comprehensive high-performance quantum circuit simulation platform. It contains three common distributed simulators: a full-amplitude circuit simulator, a single-amplitude circuit simulator, and the first cloud-based error correction circuit simulator. It also provides a quantum programming framework, HiQ. The framework will continue to evolve alongside Huawei's research, and we will continue expanding its functionalities useful for QC research, education, and popularization. We are committed to working closely with a broad spectrum of developers, researchers, educators, and students to innovate and promote technical research and industrialization of QC. We are working with more than 20+ QC research teams, and will continue to expand partnerships to build a full-stack QC solution.
Highlights of Our Quantum Software and Cloud Services
-
Full-amplitude circuit simulator on the cloud: up to 42 qubits, with software performance 5 to 10 times higher than open-source counterparts
-
Powerful single-amplitude circuit simulator on the cloud: up to 81 qubits, 40+ layers, or 169 qubits with 20+ layers
-
The first cloud-based error correction circuit simulator: simulating circuits of 10,000+ qubits, with performance 5 to 15 times higher than similar software
-
QC programming framework HiQ: Unique quantum programming BlockUI makes hybrid classic-quantum programming simpler and more intuitive. Its algorithm library already contains 10+ important basic algorithms. HiQ is compatible with the well-known open-source project, ProjectQ, and will remain open-source.
