QHybrid no longer necessary

For years, it was always the case that low qubit width run on GPU-based simulation methods "plateaued" at a certain higher value than CPU-based methods at the same width, because full GPU parallelism couldn't be engaged for small numbers of work items. To alleviate this condition, years ago, Qrack implemented QHybrid, to intelligently switch between GPU-based and CPU-based methods.

Apparently, NVIDIA has fixed this behavior at driver level. (Dan is not going to lie: he's a little "miffed" that no one pointed this out to us specifically, when we've had rapport with the CUDA-Q team in the past, and the first to smooth over this imperfection at software rather than driver level was Qrack.) Hence, QHybrid will remain available for legacy drivers and other vendors who can benefit from it, but this optimizing "layer" will be disabled by default.

Improve QrackCircuit

16 Nov 15:38
Compare
Choose a tag to compare

In preparation for experiments in compilation, QrackCircuit has been slightly refactored: single-qubit gates are now allowed to combine with any multi-qubit gate that would otherwise block commutation (which should almost never incur any additional simulation overhead penalty for running the optimized circuit with Qrack), and checks for identity equivalence have been made fully exhaustive.

Option to disable low-fidelity exception

14 Nov 18:24
Compare
Choose a tag to compare

This release adds the option to disable the limiter exception on low QUnit fidelity estimate, by setting environment variable QRACK_DISABLE_QUNIT_FIDELITY_GUARD to any truthy value.

When QUnit encounters a situation where acting a coupler gate would require exceeding user-specified maximum system memory resources, it will automatically resort to replacing this gate with a "classical shadow" that will not require additional allocation. In the process, QUnit will decrease its internal first-principles unitary fidelity estimation under assumption that the classical shadow replacement effect is worst-case. If the fidelity estimate drops below floating-point rounding epsilon, QUnit will automatically throw to exit simulation early. However, particularly in cases of "anti-concentration," such as with universal random circuit sampling, this first-principles worst-case fidelity estimate might be very overly severe. In these cases, the worst-case fidelity estimate cannot necessarily be trusted not to be (potentially very) overly pessimistic, but the throw condition on low fidelity estimate can be disabled by assigning any value to environment variable QRACK_DISABLE_QUNIT_FIDELITY_GUARD.

Optimize classical shadows (and clean up Qrack code)

Compare
Choose a tag to compare

This release optimizes the QUnit classical shadows code and makes many various "micro-optimizations" in Qrack largely around the goal of reducing division operations on literals and instituting a HALF_R1 macro.

WARNING: Continuation of Mac OS 12 wheels is not guaranteed for any future release. Please plan accordingly.

QUnit classical shadows

11 Nov 19:52
Compare
Choose a tag to compare

With this release, if QUnit throws bad_alloc due to subsystems becoming too large due to Kronecker products, then the state is restored to what it was before the offending gate, and a classical shadow of the gate is enacted instead, reducing the internal fidelity tracking total (which should always be checked by the user). This classical shadow will not require any further Kronecker products, keeping resource usage below system limits. If the fidelity of QUnit approaches floating-point rounding epsilon, QUnit will throw again immediately to abort the approximate emulation.

Optimize try_decompose() (2)

Choose a tag to compare

try_decompose() has been optimized for significant time complexity reduction in the case that the system is detected to be separable. (The development team highly suspects that this implementation is finally "pareto-optimal," in other words, not possible to fundamentally optimize further.)

(Since this version technically fixes an edge case bug introduced into the Qrack code by the last release, even though it is likely not exposed via pennylane-qrack, we will include a Mac OS 12 wheel build. Barring a bug fix in the next release, expect this to be the final Mac OS 12 release.)

In recent releases, a bug was introduced in OpenCL and CUDA based Decompose()/Dispose() when trying to calculate the phase angle of very small amplitudes. This has been fixed, and CPU-based simulation has been optimized.

WARNING: You must recompile any precompiled OpenCL kernels, after upgrading to this release.

(A Mac OS 12 wheel build is included since this is primarily a debugging release, but, as the OS version is deprecated, be prepared to lose Mac OS 12 support for any release forward of this version.)

Manually set self.shots on QrackDevice

Compare
Choose a tag to compare

self.shots always defaulted to 1 for the Python PennyLane back end. This release (since v0.10.3 on PyPi) manually sets self.shots to ensure the correct behavior when multiple shots are requested.

(Note that since Mac OS 12 is officially deprecated, we would continue to support it, since we retain the ability to build for it, except that brew deprecation of the OS has led to a very time-consuming build-from-source process for every dependency. Hence, this might be the last release of pennylane-qrack to officially offer a Mac OS 12 wheel.)

(Also note, the only difference between v0.10.3 on PyPi vs. v0.10.4, this release that skips a patch number on GitHub, is that a PennyLane deprecation warning has been fixed.)

PennyLane noisy mode is always "weak" simulation

30 Oct 23:38
Compare
Choose a tag to compare

Qrack noisy simulation mode categorically needs to be "weak" rather than "strong" simulation condition, in the sense that sampling always entails one full run of the unitary circuit and generating only a single shot, top-to-bottom for each shot requested, in any instance of a request for shots. This release ensures this to always be the case for Qrack noisy simulation with the Python-based PennyLane back end.
