Quantum Computing (QC) currently falls behind classical computing in most practical applications. However, its unique computational approach holds the potential to revolutionize scientific computing and unlock discoveries in various fields that were previously inaccessible using classical methods. Despite this potential, research on the application of QC to real-world problems is still in its early stages. Hence, there is a pressing need to expedite the practical implementation of QC to evaluate its efficacy as a new computer technology. This necessitates early access to quantum computers across multiple qubit technologies. Additionally, the integration of quantum computers into existing High-Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructures is essential for enabling the execution of hybrid quantum-classical computing models on an integrated HPC-QC platform. This session will focus on novel approaches to HPC-QC integration; present the latest advancements in the Israeli National Quantum Computing Center; and present new cross-industry partnerships that help accelerate the realization of practical quantum computers.
