Abstract

This paper addresses classical simulations in the assessment of quantum computing performance. It emphasises the significance of these simulations in understanding quantum systems and exploring the potential of quantum algorithms. The challenges posed by the exponential growth of quantum states and the limitations of full-state simulations are addressed. Various approximation techniques and encoding methods are pointed out to enable simulations of larger quantum systems, and advanced simulation strategies tailored to specific goals are also discussed. This work focuses on the feasibility of classical simulation in decision processes regarding the development of software solutions, extending the assessment beyond high-performance computing systems to include standard hardware. This opportunity can foster the adoption of classical simulations of quantum algorithms to a wider range of users.
