2WB.00001: The Future of High Performance Quantum Computing Invited Speaker: David J Dean We have nearly reached the era of exascale computing. Today, Supercomputer Fugaku at RIKEN is the world’s fastest computer, with a LINPACK peak of 537.2 PFlop/s and a power requirement of 29.9 MW. Within the next few months (or sooner) the scientific community will enjoy early science on a sustained exaflop computer. The first US exascale platform, which will be housed at ORNL, will be built on a heterogeneous combination of CPUs and GPUs. Quantum computing hardware will be one of the promising technologies that one day will become an accelerator on future high-performance computing (HPC) platforms. Before the advent of high performance quantum computing (HP-QC), researchers will need to overcome key roadblocks in quantum state resilience, controllability, and ultimately scalability of quantum technologies. In this talk, I will discuss some of the exciting research directions, such as quantum algorithms for lattice QCD, taking place in the Quantum Science Center, a U.S. Department of Energy National Quantum Information Science Research Center, that addresses these challenges. |

2WB.00003: Quantum Detectors and their Applications in Nuclear Physics Invited Speaker: Kyle G Leach The tremendous worldwide effort towards the development of practical quantum computing has already had a profound effect on the landscape of experimental physics. The unprecedented sensitivity of these quantum systems have allowed for the construction and operation of sensors that allow us access to experiments which were previously thought to be unfeasible. For more than a decade, nuclear physics has seen rapid growth in the use of low-temperature quantum sensors for the detection of low-energy radiation, particularly in our search for new physics beyond the Standard Model. The current approaches primarily employ magnetic microcalorimeters (MMCs), superconducting tunnel junctions (STJs), and transition edge sensors (TES’). In this talk, I will highlight a few of the experiments that utilize these technologies and give an outlook on where we might be headed for applications of quantum sensing in NP. |
