Abstract
The use of classical computers to simulate quantum computing has been successful in aiding the study of quantum algorithms and circuits that are too complex to examine analytically. Current implementations of quantum computing simulators are limited to two-level quantum systems. Recent advances in high-dimensional quantum computing systems have demonstrated the viability of working with multi-level superposition and entanglement. These advances allow an agile increase in the number of dimensions of the system while maintaining quantum entanglement, achieving higher encoding of information and making quantum algorithms less vulnerable to decoherence and computational errors. In this paper, we introduce QuantumSkynet, a novel high-dimensional cloud-based quantum computing simulator. This platform allows simulations of qudit-based quantum algorithms. We also propose a unified generalization of high-dimensional quantum gates, which are available for simulations in QuantumSkynet. Finally, we report simulations and their results for qudit-based versions of the Deutsch--Jozsa and quantum phase estimation algorithms using QuantumSkynet.
