Enabling Hybrid HPCQC Workflows with a Heterogeneous Software Stack

--> Quantum Physics arXiv:2608.14827 (quant-ph) [Submitted on 14 Aug 2026] Title:Enabling Hybrid HPCQC Workflows with a Heterogeneous Software Stack Authors:Muhammad Nufail Farooqi, Minh Chung, Burak Mete, Eric Mansfield, Bernd Hoffmann, Teemu Mattsson, Laura Schulz, Jorge Echavarria View a PDF of the paper titled Enabling Hybrid HPCQC Workflows with a Heterogeneous Software Stack, by Muhammad Nufail Farooqi and 7 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:In this work, we demonstrate hybrid High Performance Computing-Quantum Computing (HPCQC) workflows on a production petascale system. The demonstration combines three components: the SuperMUC-NG supercomputer at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ), a 20-qubit superconducting quantum processor provided by IQM Quantum Computers (IQM), and Munich Quantum Valley (MQV)'s Munich Quantum Software Stack (MQSS). Integrating quantum processors into High Performance Computing (HPC) systems requires a heterogeneous software stack capable of orchestrating classical and quantum resources within established supercomputing workflows. MQSS treats Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) as scheduler-managed accelerators and it performs resource coordination following a two-level scheduling scheme. Slurm performs system-level allocation by exposing QPUs as Generic RESources (GRES), while the MQSS Quantum Resource Manager & Compiler Infrastructure (QRM&CI) performs just-in-time compilation and subsequent dispatch of quantum circuits. To integrate with existing HPC operations without modifying the scheduler core, MQSS introduces an open-source SLURM Plugin Suite based on Prolog/Epilog scripts and SPANK modules. Experimental results show that hybrid HPCQC workflows can be executed without significant latency overhead compared to conventional workloads. The presented architecture provides a portable integration model for quantum accelerators on large-scale HPC systems and is directly applicable to next-generation Hewlett Pac

My approach to fundamental analysis probably differs from the classical method. I am firmly convinced: first, you must understand the business, and only after that look at the figures. For me, investing is an attempt to understand the place of a company or an asset in the future. Financial reports reflect only the past and the present. Therefore, my analysis always begins with an attempt to thoroughly understand the essence of the company itself. On what is this business really built? What value does it create today? And, most importantly, how will this business be integrated into the economy of tomorrow? I evaluate ideas through the prism of a long-term perspective. Before opening a trade, I must clearly see the place of this company in the world in 5–10 years. I am interested in what management is doing right now in order to capture the markets of the future.

The Rise of Superconducting Erasure Qubits – an Industry Perspectivequantum-computing

The Rise of Superconducting Erasure Qubits – an Industry Perspective

TECHNICAL BLOG The Rise of Superconducting Erasure Qubits – an Industry Perspective Building a commercially useful quantum computer requires more than increasing qubit numbers. The real challenge is reducing errors to the point where quantum processors can reliably outperform classical systems on meaningful problems. Maria Violaris DEVELOPER ADVOCATE Maria has a hybrid role at OQC of quantum error correction research towards building a fault-tolerant quantum computer, and technical science communication. She has a PhD in theoretical quantum information from the University of Oxford, alongside which she interned with IBM Quantum making the “Quantum Paradoxes” YouTube series. She has spearheaded multiple new initiatives in the quantum community, including the “Quantum on the Clock” Schools Video Competition; Oxford Quantum Information Society; and quantum computing workshops. She has also written for Physics World magazine; published quantum education research; and hosts a Quantum Foundations Podcast on her YouTube channel, amongst other quantum content. Today’s superconducting qubits have made remarkable progress, but error rates remain too high for large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computing. That’s why quantum error correction (QEC) is one of the defining engineering challenges for the industry. At OQC, we are taking a hardware-first approach to solving it. Our latest Perspective article, Developments in superconducting erasure-qubits for hardware-efficient quantum error correction, explores one of the most promising directions in the field: superconducting erasure qubits. It also explains how our newly developed OQC Dimon architecture fits within the rapidly evolving research landscape. Engineering qubits that reveal their own errors Traditional quantum error correction assumes errors occur silently, requiring significant overhead to detect and correct them. Erasure qubits however, change that assumption. An erasure error occurs when a qubit leaves its computati

DeSantis and Nergis Mavalvala and Vivishek Sudhir View PDF Abstract:Feedback oscillators, such as lasers and masers, serve as time references in modern computing, communication, and measurement. Quantum fluctuations ultimately limit their phase stability and ability to keep time precisely; in the absence of quantum engineering, their phase stability is bounded by a standard quantum limit (SQL). Techniques to improve the frequency stability of feedback oscillators beyond the SQL have been theorized, but have not yet been demonstrated. We demonstrate an opto-electronic oscillator (OEO), a type of feedback oscillator, with phase stability approaching the SQL. We then engineer the OEO's quantum state to improve its phase stability, thereby demonstrating the essential principle quantum-enhancement of feedback oscillators. Similar techniques may be employed to evade the SQL in other feedback oscillators such as masers and lasers.

Lithuania Quantum Computing Companies, The Complete Vendor Guide

The leading lithuania quantum computing companies and institutions in 2026 form a photonics-led ecosystem, built on the country’s internationally competitive laser industry and a research base strong in quantum optics. Lithuania has few pure quantum-computing startups, but it has something most small countries do not: a genuine, globally competitive laser-and-photonics industry that feeds directly into quantum technology. Nine organisations define the lithuania quantum computing companies landscape in this guide: Vilnius University, FTMC, KTU, VILNIUS TECH, Light Conversion, EKSPLA, Integrated Optics, LitQCI, and the national Quantum Lithuania effort. Why Lithuania’s quantum ecosystem is photonics-led Lithuania’s quantum landscape is photonics-led, and that is its defining feature. The country does not have a set of venture-funded quantum-computing-hardware startups building processors. What it has instead is one of the strongest laser-and-photonics industries in Europe relative to its size, and that industry connects directly to quantum technology. Quantum systems based on atoms, ions, and photons are prepared, controlled, and measured using precisely tuned light, so lasers and photonics instruments are core quantum-technology tools. The lithuania quantum computing companies landscape is built from this base: globally competitive laser manufacturers, a research base strong in laser physics and quantum optics, and a national quantum-communication programme. The ecosystem is best understood not as a quantum-computing-startup scene but as a photonics industry and research base positioned to supply and support the wider quantum field. The laser industry behind Lithuanian quantum Lithuania’s laser industry is the foundation of its quantum story. The country is home to laser manufacturers whose instruments are sold to research laboratories and industry worldwide, and Lithuanian-made lasers account for a notable share of the global scientific-laser market.

TuringQ Planning to IPO and In Race to Become China’s First Public Quantum Firmquantum-computing

TuringQ Planning to IPO and In Race to Become China’s First Public Quantum Firm

TuringQ Planning to IPO and In Race to Become China’s First Public Quantum Firm Shanghai-based photonic quantum firm TuringQ has officially initiated pre-IPO tutoring with the Shanghai branch of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, positioning itself as a leading contender in the race to become China’s first publicly listed quantum computing company. Advised by Guotai Haitong Securities, the move reflects both a broader rush among Chinese hard-tech enterprises to tap public capital markets and a pivotal transition for the domestic quantum ecosystem from early-stage venture funding toward commercialization. Founded in February 2021 by legal representative Jin Xianmin and controlled by Shanghai Siliang Quantum Technology, TuringQ has distinguished itself by focusing on photonic quantum architectures rather than the more common superconducting or trapped-ion routes. Photonic approach benefits include room-temperature operation, high scalability, and direct compatibility with existing optical communications infrastructure. The company’s commercialization efforts reached a significant milestone in June 2025, when a pilot production facility in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, began operating to produce thin-film lithium niobate photonic chips. This facility enabled wafer-scale manufacturing with thousands of optical components integrated on a single chip, marking a crucial step in translating laboratory prototypes into industrial-scale production. TuringQ’s financial momentum has accelerated sharply, with the firm securing nearly 1 billion yuan ($148 million USD) in 2026 alone. A Series C funding round in April pushed the company’s valuation past 7 billion yuan ($1.04 billion USD). Capital from these rounds is earmarked for advancing practical photonic quantum computers, cultivating a broader quantum algorithm ecosystem, and expanding quantum-powered intelligent computing infrastructure. The listing ambition comes amid broader structural support from Chinese regulators. In

Norway Quantum Computing Companies, The Complete Vendor Guidequantum-computing

Norway Quantum Computing Companies, The Complete Vendor Guide

The leading norway quantum computing companies and institutions in 2026 form a research-led ecosystem rather than a crowded commercial market, and that distinction matters for understanding how quantum technology works in Norway. The country has very few dedicated quantum startups, but it has strong research institutions, a major industrial group active in quantum sensing, and a new national programme worth roughly 1.1 billion Norwegian kroner. Ten organisations define the norway quantum computing companies landscape in this guide: SINTEF, Simula Research Laboratory, Kongsberg Gruppen, the University of Oslo, NTNU, the OsloMet Quantum Hub, the University of Bergen, Sigma2, the Research Council of Norway, and NorQSoft with the national quantum research centres. Why Norway has a research-led quantum ecosystem Norway’s quantum landscape looks different from those of Germany, Finland, or the Netherlands, and it is important to be honest about that difference. Norway does not have a large set of venture-funded quantum-hardware or quantum-software startups. Its only dedicated pure-play quantum company, the Nordic Quantum Computing Group, ceased operations in December 2024, and it had cited the absence of a national quantum strategy as one reason. The norway quantum computing companies story is therefore mostly a story of research institutions rather than commercial vendors. That research base, however, is genuinely strong. Norway has good university physics and chemistry groups, a large applied-research organisation in SINTEF, a focused software-research institution in Simula, and a major industrial group, Kongsberg, that has made quantum sensing a strategic priority. What Norway lacked until recently was national coordination and funding, and the 2025 national quantum programme was designed to address exactly that. The norway quantum computing companies ecosystem is best understood as a research-led one that is now being given commercial and strategic direction. The nati
