Simulate Large Quantum Circuits With Low Entanglement Using the Matrix Product State Simulator
<p>It’s difficult to answer “how big a quantum computer can a classical computer simulate,” because the answer is, well, it depends. But built into Qiskit, we have a simulator that can tackle certain kinds of quantum circuits with hundreds of qubits with relative ease.</p>
<p>Quantum circuit simulators are software programs used to mimic the behavior of quantum computers. They aid us in quantum computers’ research and development, and in gaining a better understanding of quantum algorithms. Crucial to using simulators is to pick the one best suited to the circuit you hope to simulate. If you’re aiming for circuits with lots of qubits but relatively little entanglement, the Matrix Product State Simulator might be your best bet.</p>
