SUMMARY:Introduction to Quantum Computing
DESCRIPTION:Scott Pakin (Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL)) and Eleano
 r Rieffel (NASA Ames Research Laboratory)\n\nQuantum computing offers the 
 potential to revolutionize high performance computing by providing a means
  to solve certain computational problems faster than any classical compute
 r. Relatively recently, quantum computing has advanced from a theoretical 
 possibility to engineered reality, with commercial entities offering early
  prototype quantum processors representing a variety of qubit technologies
  and computational paradigms. The media have been showcasing each new deve
 lopment and implicitly conveying the message that quantum computing ubiqui
 ty is nigh. Here, we will respond to this hype and provide an overview of 
 the exciting but still early state of the field. We introduce participants
  to the computational models underlying quantum computing. We work through
  examples of its immense computational power while highlighting what the q
 uantum computing community still does not know in terms of quantum algorit
 hms and where the power of quantum computing comes from. We examine the th
 ought processes that programmers use to map problems to circuit-model quan
 tum computers, quantum annealers, measurement-based quantum systems, analo
 g Rydberg atom arrays, and other recent inventions in the quantum computin
 g space. We conclude with an overview of the hardware and algorithmic chal
 lenges that must be overcome before quantum computing becomes a component 
 of the HPC developer's repertoire.\n\nRecording: Not Livestreamed, Not Rec
