DescriptionQuantum computing has the potential to elevate heterogeneous high performance computers to be able to tackle problems that are intractable for purely classical supercomputers. This requires the integration of quantum processing units (QPUs) into a heterogeneous classical compute infrastructure, which we refer to as the quantum-centric supercomputing (QCSC) model. Achieving this requires multiple industries to work together and align their efforts to integrate the hardware and software alike. In this workshop we will present state-of-the-art solutions that are used in today’s heterogeneous compute architecture. We will demonstrate how QPUs are integrated into the existing frameworks without having to reinvent already established high performance computing ecosystem tools and we will showcase how hybrid quantum-classical algorithms and applications can directly benefit from such QCSC architectures. Taken all together, we discuss how these interdisciplinary integration efforts pave the way to quantum advantage becoming a reality in the near future.
