Simulating large-scale quantum computers has become more difficult as the quality of quantum processing units (QPUs) improves. Validating the results is key to ensure that after the devices scale beyond what is classically simulable, we can still trust the outputs. Similarly, when generating large-scale datasets for various AI models that aim to aid in the operation of quantum processors…
