Online Seminar: How to Build a Quantum Supercomputer - Scaling Challenges and Opportunities
Quantum computing represents a paradigm shift in computation with the potential to revolutionize scientific discovery and technological innovation. This seminar examines the roadmap for constructing quantum supercomputers, emphasizing the integration of quantum processors with traditional high-performance computing (HPC) systems.
The seminar is led by prominent experts Prof. John Martinis (Qolab), Dr. Masoud Mohseni (HPE), and Dr. Yonatan Cohen (Quantum Machines), who discuss the critical hurdles and opportunities in scaling quantum computing, drawing upon their latest research publication, "How to Build a Quantum Supercomputer: Scaling Challenges and Opportunities". Watch to gain insights into the efficient allocation of quantum workloads, the significance of collaborative initiatives within the quantum computing domain, and the prospective applications of this nascent technology. (arXiv:2411.10406).
