ETP4HPC recently organized a conference on emerging technologies for HPC in Europe. Quantum computing promises to solve some of our toughest problems across fields such as drug design, materials design, supply chain logistics, energy grid management, and more. The goals include establishing a pan-European federated hybrid HPC-quantum computer and simulator (QCS) infrastructure, with uniform, easy, and affordable access for European scientific and industrial users. There are analog and digital quantum computers in HPC centers, and users can acquire expertise and contribute to the co-design feedback loop. A new emulator, called JUQCS, has been developed to validate designs of quantum processors, and a variational and hybrid quantum algorithm, QAOA, has been developed to iteratively apply a series of parametrized unitary transformations to a quantum register. EuroQCS is in Poznan, Poland, HPCQS and EuroQCS are in Paris, France, and Jülich, the latter also having JUNIQ, LUMI-Q is in Ostrava, Czech Republic, Euro-Q-Exa is in Munich, Germany, and EuroQCS is in Bologna, Italy, and Barcelona, Spain, respectively.
