significant integration challenges &#8211; which stand to benefit from AI. From applications development to error mitigation, hardware control and calibration, there is mounting evidence that AI will be critical in scaling quantum co-processors into the era of utility. Nevertheless, this important and multidisciplinary topic remains widely under-explored.\n<\/span><\/h5>\n&nbsp;\n<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px\">\nThis AI for Quantum Computing Birds of a Feather session proposes bringing together HPC, AI and quantum computing communities in an open discussion on which AI techniques currently show the most promise for enabling quantum computing. Furthermore, the session seeks to explore where AI acceleration is currently overlooked and most needed. By highlighting the importance of cutting-edge AI techniques in advancing quantum computing, the session\u2019s primary goal is inspiring new, productive research directions.\n<\/span><\/h5>\n&nbsp;\n<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px\">\nIt is worth explicitly clarifying that though there is active research in how quantum computing might one day power artificial intelligence algorithms (\u2018QC for AI\u2019), this Birds of a Feather session solely focuses on the converse relationship \u2013 how existing AI developments might impact the development and operation of quantum computers (\u2018AI for QC\u2019).

Quantum network protocols are the syntax and semantics of messages and the fundamental building blocks of quantum networks, which not only enable the provision of basic quantum network services such as entanglement generation, distribution, and storage, but allow for the development and deployment of quantum network applications such as distributed quantum computing, remote quantum sensing, and secure quantum communication. This BoF session will examine and discuss the vision, challenges, and research issues of quantum network protocols that will enable quantum networks, bridging the gap between individual hardware, such as qubits and control systems, and the total system of quantum networks. This BoF consists of several quantum networking experts with experience researching quantum network protocols, who will identify major challenges for practical development and deployment of quantum network protocols and future directions for research and development. At the beginning of the BoF session, experts and the audience will discuss recent developments in quantum network protocols from the physical layer to the application layer. Discussions will include network architectures, topologies, and infrastructure required for quantum networks. Then, experts and the audience will discuss the progress and future directions in the standardization of quantum network protocols and issues related to compatibility and interoperability between different quantum devices. This session provides a platform for informal discussions on various aspects of quantum network protocols, fostering new collaborations and innovative research ideas.<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26edb3ab elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"26edb3ab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px;font-weight: bold\">Keywords:\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px\">Quantum Network protocol, quantum internet, quantum network, quantum computer network, distributed quantum computing<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40747834 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"40747834\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px;font-weight: bold\">Target Audience:\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px\">This session provides a platform for informal discussions on quantum network protocols\u2019 technical, theoretical, and practical aspects, fostering new collaborations and innovative research ideas.

quantum technology and its governance, as well as ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI), through the play of Quantum Quest (QQ), an experimental card game the organizers have developed. QQ is designed to stimulate discussion among a wide range of quantum technology stakeholders. In this BoF, participants will play QQ. This card game is a role-playing game that simulates a quantum innovation competition. Participants will be divided into multiple teams representing superstates, international organizations, etc., in pursuit of maximizing their own profits. QQ is designed not only to enable players to imagine future quantum development competition, but also to learn about the structural imbalances and fairness issues associated with technology development, and to deepen their understanding of the \u201cResponsible Research and Innovation (RRI)\u201d of quantum technology. We hope that the post-game discussion session will provide an opportunity to discuss about open quantum tech- nology development as well as the benefits and limitations of gamification in science communication and learning. We also hope this BoF session will be an opportunity for participants from all sectors of industry, government, and academia to reflect, share, and exchange ideas and contributions to avoid inappropriate scenarios in quantum innovation and to design ideal futures of quantum technologies.<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d59744d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5d59744d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px;font-weight: bold\">Keywords:\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px\">Quantum governance, gamification, responsible research and innovation, ethical Legal and social issues, stakeholder communication<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ae0bb79 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ae0bb79\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px;font-weight: bold\">Target Audience:\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px\">This BoF is aimed for anyone (researchers, developers, technologists, policymakers, entrepreneurs, strategists, etc.)<br \/>who wants to learn about and discuss the future of quantum technology and its impact on society.

sans-serif;font-size: 18px;font-weight: bold\">Abstract: <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px\">Research and development efforts in quantum computing (QC) systems are increasing to enable more reliable and scalable computation for practically relevant use cases. HPC systems are a crucial enabler for the applicability and utility of QC systems, especially within the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era, as they enable the use of QC systems as accelerators for hybrid applications and workflows as well as support their operational control through the critical processes such as quantum circuit compilation, error mitigation, and error correction. To ensure seamless integration of these two computing paradigms, comprehensive strategies are needed across all elements of the full-stack HPC-QC features, including hardware infrastructure, interconnectivity, system software, programming tools, and use-case applications.<\/span><\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px\">Founded in 2023, the IEEE Quantum-HPC Working Group held a BoF in IEEE Quantum Week &#8217;23, addressing the mentioned integration aspects and bringing together experts from all relevant disciplines. In this iteration of the BoF, the main focus will be on different use cases and their implementation within HPC-QCS to discuss different patterns of hybrid use cases and thus identify relevant workflows to tackle them.<\/span><\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px\">\nThe session will start with presentations from each active member of the working group, followed by roundtable discussions on the mentioned focused areas led by the session lead. The current state of work will be presented, including the highlighted use cases with examples identified by the WG over the past year, along with the proposed workflow framework to guide this discussion.<\/span><\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px\">\nFuture activities and events of this working group will center on community building along with technical sessions through co-location at SC and ISC-HPC (to connect with a broader HPC-focused audience), future Quantum Weeks, and dedicated face-to-face workshops under the Quantum Initiative.<\/span><\/h5>\n&nbsp;\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-619a7095 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"619a7095\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px;font-weight: bold\">Keywords:\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px\">\t\nHybrid HPC-QCS, quantum computing, hybrid-quantum algorithms, IEEE Quantum Initiative\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6cfcf8ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6cfcf8ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px;font-weight: bold\">Target Audience:\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px\">The targeted attendees are from academic research and enterprise organisations from QCS and HPC communities: data centre stakeholders, computer engineers, system administrators, programmers and software developers, algorithm developers, application developers, education &amp; training stakeholders.<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ed4c9fb e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4ed4c9fb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ffee301 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7ffee301\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<hr style=\"background: #F87431;border: 0;height: 7px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"class_list":["post-748","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
