Description

As Quantum Computing systems continue their maturation, their addition to the spectrum of HPC accelerators slowly becomes more viable. For them to be usable, though, we require substantial efforts to integrate the quantum and the HPC ecosystem. On the hardware side, the needed efforts seem straightforward - integrating the quantum control system with lowest possible latency into the HPC network. That’s only half of the story though. We must also connect the needed software stacks by bridging their radically different workflows, programming approaches and user expectations. This talk will highlight how we can achieve these goals and will present the Munich Quantum Software Stack (MQSS), developed as part of the Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) initiative. This software effort aims at providing efficient usage and integration of the quantum systems developed in the MQV and/or hosted at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre. Beyond that it aims at setting a standard for the integration of HPC and QC as part of the EuroHPC QC efforts.
