Comprehensive Quantum Computing Simulation with Intel Quantum SDK v1.1

The Intel Quantum SDK is a C++ based toolchain for compiling and executing workloads for seamless classical/quantum program execution. This system is naturally suited for execution of hybrid algorithms due to the tight integration allowed between the classical and quantum code. Simulations using qubit simulators has been a valuable resource for assessing feasibility, establishing limits, and studying scaling aspects of quantum algorithms. The Intel Quantum SDK with v1.1 will allow convenient targeting of four different kinds of qubit simulators each with their own strengths, combined with the powerful optimization capabilities of the compiler toolchain. In this talk I will discuss the capabilities and limitations of each of the simulator backends and provide recommended use cases based on examples. We will also explore the asynchronous mode of simulators which allows parallel execution of simulations.
