High Performance Computing and Quantum Computing 2021
Il Cineca Quantum Computing Lab, in collaborazione con il Prof. Enrico Prati (CNR-IFN), organizza la quarta edizione del workshop High Performance Computing and Quantum Computing, che si terrà online il 15 e 16 dicembre 2021.
Come ogni anno, anche in questa edizione interverranno relatori provenienti dal mondo della ricerca italiana nel campo del quantum computing e delle aziende produttrici di hardware e software quantistici. In particolare, per la prima volta, quest’anno ospiteremo anche i centri di supercalcolo europei, che hanno gentilmente accettato di condividere la loro visione del futuro del quantum computing, con particolare attenzione al suo rapporto con l’HPC.
