Assume the superposition: Intel emits SDK to simulate quantum computers
Intel claims its Quantum SDK allows developers to get a head start by letting them build software while engineers figure out how to put actual qubits into working and accessible quantum computers.
Intel's Quantum Simulator – an open source project that's been kicking around for a few years now – provides a backend for the SDK. IQS simulates generic qubits, which in theory should allow developers to port their work to real quantum systems in the future. However, as anyone who's dabbled with hardware emulation will know, simulating logic in software can be incredibly inefficient. This certainly was the case for Fujitsu's simulator, which required a 64-node cluster of its PRIMEHPC FX 700 boxes, each powered by the Arm-based A64FX processor at the heart of the Fugaku supercomputer.
