Practical Solutions and Value of Quantum Framework (QFw)
Revolutionizing Quantum and HPC Integration
Quantum computing has the potential to significantly impact algorithms and applications, working alongside traditional high-performance computing. Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices present powerful computational platforms, but face challenges such as limited qubit coherence times and high error rates. Quantum simulators are critical for developing and testing quantum algorithms in a controlled, error-free environment.
Integration of Quantum Computing into HPC Environments
Various approaches integrate quantum computing into HPC environments, offering loose and tight integration. Loose integration provides flexible coupling between quantum and classical systems, while tight integration involves directly integrating quantum processing units (QPUs) into HPC nodes. Managing resources and optimizing performance pose challenges across these hybrid systems.
Quantum Framework (QFw) by Oak Ridge National Laboratory
The Quantum Framework (QFw) offers loose integration of quantum computing with HPC environments, providing a unified solution for hybrid applications with the maximum benefits of HPC for quantum simulation. It allows researchers to fully leverage HPC resources for quantum computing and seamlessly transition between simulation backends and real quantum hardware.
