Qiskit is one of the common quantum computing frameworks and and the qiskit-aer package can accelerating quantum circuit simulation using NVIDIA GPU with the help of THRUST. AMD ROCm framework similar to CUDA, a heterogeneous computing framework supporting both the NVIDIA and AMD GPUs provides the possibility to porting Qiskit/Qiskit-Aer from CUDA platform to its own. We present the porting progress of Qiskit/QiskitAer and preliminary performance test on both NVIDA and AMD GPUs. Our results show that Qiskit/Qiskit-Aer cand work well on AMD GPUs with the help of ROCm/HIP, and has comparable performance on AMD platform.
