Enabling Hybrid HPCQC Workflows with a Heterogeneous Software Stackquantum-computing

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

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

Lithuania Quantum Computing Companies, The Complete Vendor Guidequantum-computing

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.
