This module contains Qiskit simulators using the OpenCL based QCGPU library.
This provider adds two quantum circuit simulators, which are:
These simulation backends take advantage of the GPU or other OpenCL devices.
First of all, you will have to have some OpenCL installation installed already.
You can install this module from PyPI using pip:
$ pip install qiskit-qcgpu-provider
The usage of this backend with Qiskit is shown in the usage example
For more information on Qiskit and quantum simulations, look at the Qiskit tutorials and the Qiskit instructions page
To benchmark this simulator against the BasicAer
qasm_simulator
,
you can run
$ python3 benchmark.py --samples 15 --qubits 5 --single True
