High Performance Computing and Quantum Computing 2021

The fourth edition of the Workshop "High Performance Computing and Quantum Computing", organized in collaboration with Prof. Enrico Prati (CNR-IFN), will take place on December 2021 and announced during the first school dedicated to the practical use of new quantum computers organized by Cineca and IFAB - International Foundation Big Data and Artificial Intelligence for Human Development.

As past editions, speakers from the world of quantum hardware and software manufacturers and from the world of Italian research in the field of quantum computing will participate in this edition as well. In particular, for the first time, this year we will also host a large representation of the most influential European supercomputing centers, who have kindly agreed to share their vision of the future of quantum computing with all of us, with particular attention to its relationship with HPC.

Hybrid computing HPC/QC is in fact currently a hot topic in the world of supercomputing: the incessant evolution of quantum machines is rapidly reaching the point where, according to the scientific community, it will be possible to demonstrate the first quantum advantages thanks to the collaboration between quantum computers and supercomputers. The role of HPC, in this particular moment, is therefore central: during the Workshop we will see how our European colleagues who have been dealing with HPC for decades are preparing to welcome and accompany this new technological revolution.

The Workshop will take place online from the 15 to the 16 December 2021.
