This two-day workshop will bring together leading experts from academia, industry, and national laboratories to explore the rapidly evolving frontiers of quantum computing applications and their integration with high-performance computing (HPC) platforms.
Hosted by RIKEN Quantum, the event will provide a forum for discussing recent advances, practical challenges, and future directions toward achieving utility-scale quantum computations and robust quantum–HPC hybrid workflows.
The workshop is primarily an in-person event, but a special session on quantum computing in chemistry and life sciences will also be accessible via Zoom.
