QuantEx
QuantEx is a platform combining modular quantum circuit simulation tools with the aim of running efficiently on heterogeneous compute platforms and scaling to exploit pre-exascale and exascale compute resources. Modern development practices and software design methodologies are used along with hierarchical layers of abstraction to encapsulate complexity and enable tools to be easily extended and integrated into users’ circuit simulation workflows. Where possible existing software components will be integrated and modified as required instead of rewriting from scratch. The project commenced in January 2020 with a team made up of researchers at ICHEC and LRZ.
The bulk of the project is funded by PRACE 6IP as part of WP8 with additional contributions from ICHEC and LRZ.
