Hiperwalk: Simulation of Quantum Walks with Heterogeneous High-Performance Computing
The Hiperwalk package is designed to facilitate the simulation of quantum walks using heterogeneous high-performance computing, taking advantage of the parallel processing power of diverse processors such as CPUs, GPUs, and acceleration cards. This package enables the simulation of both the continuous-time and discrete-time quantum walk models, effectively modeling the behavior of quantum systems on large graphs. Hiperwalk features a user-friendly Python package frontend with comprehensive documentation, as well as a high-performance C-based inner core that leverages parallel computing for efficient linear algebra calculations. This versatile tool empowers researchers to better understand quantum walk behavior, optimize implementation, and explore a wide range of potential applications, including spatial search algorithms.
