An integrated infrastructure to tackle complex problems: HPCQS Releases Project Video

From battery design and drug development to traffic and finance portfolio optimization, the solution of complex problems requires large amounts of computing. While the capabilities of traditional high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructures are steadily increasing, quantum processors coupled with traditional HPC can provide capacities to calculate large operations like those used in complex problems.

With the installation of the two quantum processors, HPCQS has paved the way towards a federated hybrid high performance computing quantum infrastructure, providing users from industry and research with a hybrid quantum classical computing infrastructure able to take on complex problems. To celebrate the joint procurement and installation of the quantum processors, HPCQS has released a new video, now available on YouTube and on the project website.

The video contains time lapse footage of the installation of the Pasqal Quantum Processors Ruby and Jade at CEA & FZJ, as well as interviews with Prof. Dr Kristel Michielsen, Project Coordinator and Director of the Jülich Supercomputing Centre, Sabine Mehr, WP2 Lead and Chief Quantum Projects Officer at GENCI and Dr Venkatesh Kannan, WP5 Lead and Associate Director at the Irish Centre of High-End Computing (ICHEC).

The video highlights the success of the joint procurement and installation of the two quantum processors and maps out the next steps towards an integrated platform to better serve hybrid applications that benefit both scientific and enterprise purposes.
