NERSCPowering Scientific Discovery for 50 Years

Quantum for Science Day 2023, November 2

November 2, 2023

NERSC is proud to host a 2023 Quantum for Science Day. This full-day hybrid (in-person as well as 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 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 2023.
