By simulating tomorrow\u2019s quantum computers on today\u2019s classical systems, researchers can develop and test quantum algorithms more quickly and at scales not otherwise possible.<\/p>\n<p>Driving toward that future, NVIDIA created the largest ever simulation of a quantum algorithm for solving the MaxCut problem using <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.nvidia.com\/cuquantum-sdk\">cuQuantum<\/a>, our SDK for accelerating quantum circuit simulations on a GPU.<\/p>\n<p>In the math world, MaxCut is often cited as an example of an optimization problem no known computer can solve efficiently. MaxCut algorithms are used to design large computer networks, find the optimal layout of chips with billions of silicon pathways and explore the field of statistical physics.<\/p>\n<p>MaxCut is a key problem in the quantum community because it\u2019s one of the leading candidates for demonstrating an advantage from using a quantum algorithm.<\/p>\n<p>We used the cuTensorNet library in cuQuantum running on NVIDIA\u2019s in-house supercomputer, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.nvidia.com\/blog\/2020\/12\/18\/nvidia-selene-busy\/\">Selene<\/a>, to simulate a quantum algorithm to solve the MaxCut problem. Using GPUs to simulate 1,688 qubits, we were able to solve a graph with a whopping 3,375 vertices. That\u2019s 8x more qubits than the previous largest quantum simulation. Our solution was also highly accurate, reaching 96% of the best known answer.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_53876\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53876\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.nvidia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/cuquantum-maxcut-optimization-chart-scaled.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.nvidia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/cuquantum-maxcut-optimization-chart-672x285.jpg\" alt=\"NVIDIA cuquantum world record\" width=\"672\" height=\"285\"><\/p>\n<p><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-53876\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The previous world record for a tensor network MaxCut simulation on a supercomputer (left) and the results using the cuTensorNet library running on Selene (right).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Our breakthrough opens the door for using cuQuantum on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nvidia.com\/en-us\/data-center\/dgx-systems\/\">NVIDIA DGX systems<\/a> to research quantum algorithms at a previously impossible scale, accelerating the path to tomorrow\u2019s quantum computers.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Keys to the Quantum World<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>You can test drive the same software that set this world record.<\/p>\n<p>Starting today, the first library from cuQuantum,, cuStateVec, is in <a href=\"http:\/\/developer.nvidia.com\">public beta<\/a>, available to download. It uses state vectors to accelerate simulations with tens of qubits.<\/p>\n<p>The cuTensorNet library that helped us set the world record uses tensor networks to simulate up to hundreds or even thousands of qubits on some promising near-term algorithms. It will be available in December.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Get the Latest News at GTC<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>We invite you to try cuQuantum, get dramatically accelerated performance on your simulations and go break some big records.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about cuQuantum\u2019s partner ecosystem <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.nvidia.com\/blog\/2021\/11\/09\/google-quantum-computing\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To get the big picture, attend <a href=\"https:\/\/nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Freg.rainfocus.com%2Fflow%2Fnvidia%2Fnvidiagtc%2Fdigitalreg%2Flogin&amp;data=04%7C01%7Crmerritt%40nvidia.com%7C102fe96d65bb425fcc1208d99269ab32%7C43083d15727340c1b7db39efd9ccc17a%7C0%7C0%7C637701804824375183%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=t0AA9Lpy8EgmgD4lrYflWvIeUZqBMqqSaLWLKCRZB2w%3D&amp;reserved=0\">NVIDIA GTC<\/a>, taking place online through Nov. 11.
