Query: Large scale multi-node simulations of $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge theory
  quantum circuits using Google Cloud Platform   Simulating quantum field theories on a quantum computer is one of the most
exciting fundamental physics applications of quantum information science.
Dynamical time evolution of quantum fields is a challenge that is beyond the
capabilities of classical computing, but it can teach us important lessons
about the fundamental fabric of space and time. Whether we may answer
scientific questions of interest using near-term quantum computing hardware is
an open question that requires a detailed simulation study of quantum noise.
Here we present a large scale simulation study powered by a multi-node
implementation of qsim using the Google Cloud Platform. We additionally employ
newly-developed GPU capabilities in qsim and show how Tensor Processing Units
-- Application-specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) specialized for Machine
Learning -- may be used to dramatically speed up the simulation of large
quantum circuits. We demonstrate the use of high performance cloud computing
for simulating $\mathbb{Z}_2$ quantum field theories on system sizes up to 36
qubits. We find this lattice size is not able to simulate our problem and
observable combination with sufficient accuracy, implying more challenging
observables of interest for this theory are likely beyond the reach of
classical computation using exact circuit simulation.
