Quantum technologies are advancing rapidly with a pathway to scientific discovery and quantum utility by 2030 for the Department of Energy community. In this colloquium I will highlight progress by the national quantum initiative centers and other DOE programs, and industry that make me excited about this potential, and what possible scientific applications may get there first. As hardware is being scaled up, next-generation software and integration with HPC is becoming important. Software frameworks to couple HPC and quantum computers, as well as connecting end users to such a hybrid computing environment will be essential to ensure the technology can be harnessed in the most optimal way possible to deliver on industry and scientific discovery needs. I will discuss potential pathways to integrate HPC and networking, and I will also discuss areas where this integration is not so obvious.
Bio: Bert de Jong serves as the Department Head for Computational Sciences, and leads the Applied Computing for Scientific Discovery Group, which advances scientific computing by developing and enhancing applications in key disciplines, as well as developing tools and libraries for addressing general problems in computational science. de Jong is the Director of the Quantum Systems Accelerator, which is part of the National Quantum Initiative. In addition, de Jong is the Team Director of the Accelerated Research for Quantum Computing (ARQC) Team MACH-Q, funded by DOE ASCR, focused on developing software stacks for near-term quantum computing devices.
