NordIQuEst participated in the QC Norway event last month, discussing the future of quantum computing in Norway.

Göran Wendin on HPC+QC, NordIQuEst and the Future of Quantum Computing

Göran Wendin, a member of the NordIQuEst project gave a talk about integrating HPC infrastructure and Quantum Computing infrastructure within the NordIQuEst and other Nordic and European endeavours.

In a live demonstration conducted by Axel Andersson, the eX3 experimental infrastructure for exploration of exascale computing at Simula Research Laboratory located in Norway was connected to the Chalmers University of Technology QAL 9000 quantum computer at Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACAT) in Sweden.

This was already the second successful cross-border HPC+QC integration within the project, and a prime example of the importance of collaboration between different stakeholders, nations, and domain experts for getting quantum computing out to the end-users.
