The Convergence of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Quantum Computing (QC) to Solve Science Grand Challenges

The event titled The Convergence of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Quantum Computing (QC) to Solve Science Grand Challenges is set to take place at the Telluride Science & Innovation Center in Telluride, Colorado. This workshop aims to address some of the most pressing challenges in the field of quantum computing and its integration with classical high-performance computing systems. Quantum computing is recognized for its potential to revolutionize various scientific fields by tackling complex computational tasks that traditional computing architectures are unable to solve efficiently. The workshop will bring together leading commercial vendors, quantum science experts, and domain scientists who apply quantum algorithms across disciplines such as chemistry, materials science, optimization, biomedicine, fluid dynamics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and banking.Participants will engage in meaningful discussions focused on developing fault-tolerant algorithms and enhancing the hardware/software interface that facilitates the seamless integration of quantum computers into existing classical infrastructures. The workshop is designed to foster innovation and collaboration, allowing for substantial unstructured time for participants to brainstorm and share ideas. The goals include creating a 'maker space' that closely ties computer scientists to real-world applications of quantum computing and documenting the resulting insights through a comprehensive publication. Additionally, the registration fee includes a picnic dinner on one evening, along with daily continental breakfast, snacks, and beverages, making this workshop not only an educational experience but also a social one. Telluride Science encourages participants to bring their families, providing a welcoming atmosphere for both professionals and their loved ones. Participants are expected to commit to the entire duration of the workshop to maximize engagement and collaboration. The event aims to advance scientific knowledge and gather global thought leaders to address societal and planetary challenges, with over 50 workshops held annually across various fields of science, including notable contributions from Nobel Laureates and representatives from over 400 institutions.
