Popis:	Classical simulations are essential for the development of quantum computing, and their exponential scaling can easily fill any modern supercomputer. In this paper we consider the performance and energy consumption of large Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) simulations run on ARCHER2, the UK's National Supercomputing Service, with QuEST toolkit. We take into account CPU clock frequency and node memory size, and use cache-blocking to rearrange the circuit, which minimises communications. We find that using 2.00GHz instead of 2.25GHz can save as much as 25% of energy at 5% increase in runtime. Higher node memory also has the potential to be more efficient, and cost the user fewer CUs, but at higher runtime penalty. Finally, we present a cache-blocking QFT circuit, which halves the required communication. All our optimisations combined result in 40% faster simulations and 35% energy savings in 44 qubit simulations on 4,096 ARCHER2 nodes. Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures.
