cuQuantum Appliance- 24.08-x86_64 provider tools problem

[ssarikurt]

Hi!

I encountered an issue using cusvaer as the backend while running the cuQuantum Appliance 24.08 (x86_64) in an Apptainer container.

I am attempting to run the cuquantum-benchmark suite with Qiskit as the frontend and cusvaer as the backend, as outlined below. The setup functions without error when using other backends, such as aer-cuda or aer-cusv.

Could you please assist me in resolving this issue?

apptainer run --nv cuquantum-appliance_24.08-x86_64 cuquantum-benchmarks circuit --frontend qiskit --backend cusvaer --nqubits 16 -v --ncputhreads 1 --cusvaer-global-index-bits 1 --cusvaer-p2p-device-bits 0

I got the below error:

INFO: nvidia devices detected

Hi @ssarikurt,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Could you please confirm that the Qiskit version number is 1.0.2 in your environment?
cusvaer in cuQuantum Appliance 24.08 is expected to work with Qiskit 1.0.2, and it may not be compatible with newer versions.
