High Performance Computing and Quantum Computing 2021
The Cineca Quantum Computing Lab, in collaboration with Prof. Enrico Prati (CNR-IFN), is organizing the fourth edition of the High Performance Computing and Quantum Computing workshop, which will be held online on 15 and 16 December 2021.
As every year, also in this edition there will be speakers from the world of Italian research in the field of quantum computing and manufacturers of quantum hardware and software. In particular, for the first time, this year we will also host European supercomputing centers, which have kindly agreed to share their vision of the future of quantum computing, with particular attention to its relationship with HPC.
