HPC Meets Quantum Computing: When and How Will Applications Benefit? And Which Ones?

DescriptionQuantum computing is a quickly growing accelerator technology with more and more computer centers investigating the use of such systems as part of their long-term HPC strategy. However, while the potential computational power of quantum computers for targeted problems is generally known, concrete application use cases that specifically leverage both HPC and QC resources together are still a rarity. For this panel, we have invited five experts from different areas, backgrounds and regions. All are investigating the feasibility and opportunities found in such hybrid applications. We will discuss the characteristics, performance and scaling prospects of their application scenarios as well as the hardware advances they require before they can be realized. With this panel, we aim to provide a realistic picture of the field of quantum acceleration in HPC, to discuss realistic timelines and goals, and to offer the audience a well-founded picture based on firsthand experiences.
