Simplification of tensor updates toward performance-complexity balanced quantum computer simulation (2406.03010v1)

Abstract: Tensor network methods have evolved from solving optimization problems in quantum many-body spin systems. While the tensor network is now regarded as a powerful tool in quantum computer simulation, there still exists a complexity issue in updating the tensors. This work studies the tensor updates simplification in the context of the tensor network based quantum computer simulation. According to the numerical simulations, a method called simple update, also originated in quantum many-body spin systems, shows a good balance of the fidelity and the computational complexity.
