Quantum computers are evolving at a rapid pace and are considered next-generation computers with high computational capabilities. However, due to the unique characteristics of qubits, state-of-the-art quantum computers are vulnerable to noise caused by qubit instability. To overcome this, highperformance computing (HPC) systems are utilized for quantum circuit simulations to evaluate complex quantum algorithms with great accuracy. However, quantum circuit simulations have high computational demands, and the data volume increases exponentially as the number of qubits increases. In this paper, we propose SWIFTN, a quantum circuit simulation optimization framework for HPC systems with scalability. To achieve this, it enhances parallelism by dividing the tensor networks and distributing them across multiple GPUs and nodes. Additionally, it reduces computational costs by bypassing tasks through intermittent tensor contraction. Finally, to mitigate the degradation in accuracy due to intermittent tensor contraction,SWIFTNperforms amplitude adjustments. We implement and evaluateSWIFTNusing a Perlmutter supercomputer. Our evaluation results using popular quantum algorithm benchmark (i.e., QAOA) shows thatSWIFTNcan improve the performance by $7.85 \times$ with 99.997 % accuracy.
