HPCQS – High-Performance Computer and Quantum Simulator hybrid

"HPCQS" aims to develop, deploy and coordinate a European federated infrastructure, tightly integrating two quantum simulators each controlling about 100+ qubits (quantum bits) in the Tier-0 HPC systems Joliot Curie of GENCI, operated at CEA/TGCC, and the JUWELS modular supercomputer at JSC. The seamless integration of quantum hardware with classical computing resources, creating a hybrid system, is an essential step forward to utilize the power of quantum computers for handling first practical applications.

Fraunhofer IAF will work on the Benchmarking of the quantum simulators with respect to applications in quantum chemistry and will compare the performance of the quantum simulators with the IBM quantum computer.
