Surpassing Sycamore: Achieving Energetic Superiority Through System-Level Circuit Simulation
DescriptionQuantum Computational Superiority boasts rapid computation and high-energy efficiency. Despite recent advances in classical algorithms aimed at refuting the milestone claim of Google's Sycamore, challenges remain in generating uncorrelated samples of random quantum circuits.
In this paper, we present a groundbreaking large-scale system technology that leverages optimization on global-, node-, and device-levels to achieve unprecedented scalability for tensor networks. This enables the handling of large-scale tensor networks with memory capacities reaching tens of terabytes, surpassing memory space constraints on a single node. Our techniques enable accommodating large-scale tensor networks with up to tens of terabytes of memory, reaching up to 2304 GPUs with a peak computing power of 718.8 PFLOPS half-precision. Notably, our most remarkable result is a time-to-solution of 17.18 seconds, with energy consumption of only 0.29 kWh, outperforming Google's quantum processor Sycamore in both speed and energy efficiency, which recorded 600 seconds and 4.3~kWh, respectively.
