Research on Quality Model for Quantum Simulator Software

In recent years, the demand for arithmetic power from all walks of life is growing, especially the increasing popularity of AIGC, which makes people realize that huge technological progress cannot be made without the support of large arithmetic power. Quantum computing may bring a leap in computing power and become a ”trigger” and “catalyst” to accelerate the development of science and technology innovation, and its technical development trend and application prospects have become a hot issue of concern, and quantum simulators are a very important part of the development process. The development of quantum simulators is a very important part of the process. However, due to the lack of systematic evaluation theories and methods, it is difficult to quantify and analyze the quality of the increasing number of simulators on the market, which may hinder researchers from practicing their quantum algorithms objectively or developing quantum technologies. For these reasons, this paper proposes a quality model for quantum simulator software, which reflects the quality characteristics of simulators in seven aspects, such as functionality and performance efficiency, and selects some simulators for experimental validation of the proposed model to prove its rationality.
