Qsimcirq
F. Arute et al, "Quantum Supremacy Using a Programmable Superconducting Processor", Nature 574, 505, (2019).qsim is a Schrödinger full state-vector simulator. It computes all the 2n amplitudes of the state vector, where n is the number of qubits. Essentially, the simulator performs matrix-vector multiplications repeatedly. One matrix-vector multiplication corresponds to applying one gate.The total runtime is proportional to g2n, where g is the number of 2-qubit gates. To speed up the simulator, we use gate fusion [2] [3], single precision arithmetic, AVX/FMA instructions for vectorization and OpenMP for multi-threading.
