11.30am – 12.00pm Invited Talk – Dr. Antonio Mezzacapo (IBM Quantum) – Quantum-centric supercomputing: algorithms and applications

Abstract

Quantum-centric supercomputing (QCSC) is a new computational framework that makes use of high-performance classical and quantum computing in synergy. In this talk, I will review IBM’s roadmap for QCSC, illustrating how QCSC algorithms have enabled new use cases in chemistry and materials science, and the role of QCSC in the future of the quantum era.

12.00pm-12.15pm Contributing talk (15 each with q&A)

– Kentaro Yamamoto (Quantinuum) – Realization of full-stack QC-HPC hybrid computing system for bio-molecular chemistry problems

12.15pm – 12.45pm Invited Speaker – James Richings (QSL) – Driving the Snakes Out of Quantum: HPC-Centric Hybrid Quantum Programming Models

Abstract

In this talk we make the case for programming models which treat quantum processing units (QPUs) as accelerator devices in the HPC setting, and ensuring that in the long term, scientific software isn’t left behind. We then present CQ, a C-like specification for interacting with a quantum computer or more precisely, with a classical co-processor connected directly to a quantum computer. The specification is designed with strictly and strongly typed languages in mind, and prioritises application developers in the HPC space. We will discuss some of the design decisions behind CQ, and report progress on a reference implementation built on top of the statevector simulator, QuEST

12.45pm – 13.00pm Concluding remarks and extended Q&A (15 minutes)
