Abstract

The cost of developing a quantum computer is currently high. In this context, this article aims to describe the processes and results of research focused on developing a RISC-V core dedicated to quantum circuit simulation. The adopted methodology involved simplifying the Tiny RISC-V processor and conducting tests and validations on a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The results are promising, indicating the feasibility of instantiating multiple cores to explore parallelism to perform quantum circuits simulation, as an alternative to GPU simulation.
