To support informed decision-making by users of quantum circuit simulators, we benchmark seven statevector-based quantum circuit simulators (Qiskit, Qulacs, Qibo, Qsimov, Cirq, Pennylane and the Intel Quantum Simulator (IQS)) on a multicore node of the Lusitania high-performance computing (HPC) system. We evaluate their performance in terms of execution time, memory usage and core scalability using Grover\u2019s algorithm, the quantum Fourier transform (QFT), and quantum volume (QV) circuits, across qubit counts ranging from 3 to 30. Our results reveal that Qulacs o\ufb00ers the best performance for circuits below 22 qubits, while Qiskit becomes the fastest for larger and more complex circuits. Qiskit and Qulacs achieve the most e\ufb03cient parallel performance across multiple cores, while others display limited scaling benefits. IQS shows the lowest memory consumption in QFT and QV benchmarks for systems under 24 qubits; however, it su\ufb00ers from higher execution times, particularly for Grover\u2019s algorithm. The experimental implementation of Qsimov consistently underperforms in both runtime and scalability; for this reason, it is employed as a baseline in our measurements, serving to highlight the importance of performance optimizations in statevector-based quantum circuit simulators. Previous findings provide a comprehensive performance landscape to guide researchers in selecting appropriate simulators for both standard and large-scale quantum workloads on HPC infrastructures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Autores:<\/strong> Jes\u00fas Cerrudo-Herrera, Daniel Talav\u00e1n-Vega, Paloma Rodr\u00edguez-Oliver, Ahmed Ziabat-Ziabat, Juan\u2010Antonio Rico\u2010Gallego<\/p>\n<p><strong>Publicaci\u00f3n \/ Evento:<\/strong> SIMULATION<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/00375497261438515\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/00375497261438515<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The increasing complexity of quantum algorithms and the limitations of current Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) hardware underscore the importance of e\ufb03cient classical simulators.
