MAIN CONFERENCE AGENDA DAY 1

11:25 AM Quantum centric super computing

In the rapidly advancing field of quantum computing, we are entering an era dubbed as the "era of quantum utility," where the growth in quantum computing systems' size and quality, coupled with innovative error resilience techniques, is beginning to unlock new computational possibilities. This talk explores the critical integration of quantum computing with traditional High-Performance Computing (HPC) to fully leverage the unique strengths of each technology, surpassing what either could achieve on its own. We introduce a novel concept called "circuit knitting," a method that involves supporting quantum algorithms with multi-circuit approaches enhanced by classical computing's pre- and post-processing capabilities and high-performance elements. This integration between quantum and classical computing frameworks is poised to provide a rich environment for experts to experiment and optimize resources in quantum algorithms and applications. Given the limitations in efficiently emulating quantum applications to find the most optimal implementations, direct interaction with evolving quantum hardware becomes essential. This presentation will delve into how quantum-centric supercomputing, underpinned by the circuit knitting approach, represents the next frontier in supercomputing, offering insights into the journey towards optimizing algorithmic resources through the convergence of quantum and classical computing technologies. 

11:45 AM FROM NISQ TO FTQC – where do the major platform and processor providers now stand
