Towards A Novel Environment for Simulation of Quantum Computing
In this paper, we analyze existing quantum computer simulation techniques and their realizations to minimize the impact of the exponential complexity of simulated quantum computations. As a result of this investigation, we propose a quantum computer simulator with an integrated development environment – QuIDE – supporting the development of algorithms for future quantum computers. The simulator simplifies building and testing quantum circuits and understanding quantum algorithms in an efficient way. The development environment provides flexibility of source code edition and ease of the graphical building of circuit diagrams. We also describe and analyze the complexity of algorithms used for simulation as well as present performance results of the simulator as well as results of its deployment during university classes
Simulating Quantum Computations on Classical Machines: A Survey
We present a comprehensive study of quantum simulation methods and quantum
simulators for classical computers. We first study an exhaustive set of 150+
simulators and quantum libraries. Then, we short-list the simulators that are
actively maintained and enable simulation of quantum algorithms for more than
10 qubits. As a result, we realize that most efficient and actively maintained
simulators have been developed after 2010. We also provide a taxonomy of the
most important simulation methods, namely Schrodinger-based, Feynman path
integrals, Heisenberg-based, and hybrid methods. We observe that most
simulators fall in the category of Schrodinger-based approaches. However, there
are a few efficient simulators belonging to other categories. We also make note
that quantum frameworks form their own class of software tools that provide
more flexibility for algorithm designers with a choice of simulators/simulation
method. Another contribution of this study includes the use and classification
of optimization methods used in a variety of simulators. We observe that some
state-of-the-art simulators utilize a combination of software and hardware
optimization techniques to scale up the simulation of quantum circuits. We
summarize this study by providing a roadmap for future research that can
further enhance the use of quantum simulators in education and research.Comment: 20 pages, 8 figures, under revie
Helicopter Handling Qualities
Helicopters are used by the military and civilian communities for a variety of tasks and must be capable of operating in poor weather conditions and at night. Accompanying extended helicopter operations is a significant increase in pilot workload and a need for better handling qualities. An overview of the status and problems in the development and specification of helicopter handling-qualities criteria is presented. Topics for future research efforts by government and industry are highlighted
