Making distribution package for ROCm acceleration
What is the expected behavior?
Aer supports accelerating quantum computing simulations by using GPUs, but there is only distribution package for NVIDIA's GPUs is available and ROCm (https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm) support for AMD's GPUs should be built from source codes. It will be helpful for users if there will be a distribution package for ROCm.
To add distribution package, it will be built when a new release of Aer will be tagged on github:
- Edit https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-aer/blob/main/.github/workflows/deploy.yml to add ROCm build
- Edit https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-aer/blob/main/.github/workflows/build.yml as same as above to test building
- Edit other config or source codes so that ROCm build will be successfully built on github
