NERSCPowering Scientific Discovery for 50 Years

Quantum for Science day 2022, October 24th

October 24, 2022

Introduction

NERSC is proud to host the Quantum for Science day. This full day virtual event will offer a broad spectrum of speakers from industry and academia that will cover a wide range of topics in Quantum Information Science (QIS). The program includes a hands-on tutorial on running GPU-accelerated quantum simulations on Perlmutter, covers novel developments in the open-source quantum software stack, and provides a discussion on synergies between HPC centers and quantum vendors. Finally, Quantum for Science day will provide a forum to highlight the novel science results enabled by the QIS@Perlmutter program that awarded more than 250,000 GPU node hours in 2022.

This will be a virtual event with presentations and video links made available shortly. Please join us for this event!
