The evolution calculation of quantum systems represents a great challenge nowadays. Numerical implementations typically scale exponentially with the size of the system, demanding high amounts of resources. General Purpose Graphics Processor Units (GPGPUs) enable a new range of possibilities for numerical simulations of quantum systems. In this work we implemented, optimized and compared the quantum Trotter-Suzuki algorithm running on both CPUs and GPUs.
