Kronecker-Free Quantum Simulation at WQS 2025
17 June 2025
My extended abstract Deriving a Kronecker-Free Functional Quantum Simulator was accepted for presentation at the 2nd Workshop on Quantum Software (WQS 2025) in Seoul on June 17.
Quantum circuits have a clear mathematical description in terms of matrices, but constructing the matrix for an entire circuit soon consumes too much memory. This work derives a functional interpreter that applies the circuit directly to its state vector instead. The result avoids the large intermediate matrix while preserving the circuit’s meaning, and experiments illustrate the performance benefits of the approach.
