Bridging the Gap: Making Quantum-Classical Hybridization Work in HPC
DescriptionQuantum-classical hybrid computing is moving from theory to reality, yet no clear roadmap exists for how best to integrate quantum processing units (QPUs) into established HPC environments. In this BoF, we hope to bring together a global community of HPC practitioners, system architects, quantum computing specialists, and workflow researchers, including participants in the Workflow Community Initiative, to assess the state of hybrid integration and identify practical steps toward scalable, impactful deployment.
This BoF will be highly interactive, drawing on the experience and expertise of all participants via a series of parallel breakout sessions focused on four anchor topics:
• Hybrid Applications, Workflows and Use-Cases
• Middleware for Dataflow and Workflow Orchestration
• Software Integration and Performance Engineering
• State of the Industry: Practice and People
Co-led by a diverse and global organizing team representing BCS, DOE, EPCC, Inria, ORNL, NVIDIA, Quantinuum, and RIKEN, our goals are to:
• Share early experiences from hybrid HPC+QC deployments
• Identify best practices across software, hardware, and workflow integration
• Accelerate knowledge-sharing to ensure the community progresses efficiently
• Encourage collaboration and convergence around architectural, workflow and programming models
• Provide a space for peer-to-peer discussion, discovery, and problem-solving across institutions and disciplines
Format:
1) 20-minute introduction to the BoF and the four anchor topics
2) 45-minute breakout group discussions
3) 25-minute regroup to share challenges, learnings and open questions to the full group with time for final thoughts and contributions and commitments for ongoing collaboration and further engagement at future industry gatherings
