SUMMARY:Is High Performance Quantum Computing Even Possible?
DESCRIPTION:Minisymposium\n\nJessica Jones (HPE) and James Davenport (Univ
 ersity of Bath)\n\nIn 1975, the Cray 1 changed the definition of high perf
 ormance computing (HPC).  Essentially a single if extremely large processo
 r, it would not be recognisable to many of those dependent on scientific c
 omputing today.  Some components that we now see on-chip were in entirely 
 separate cabinets, and hard drives resembled top-loading washing machines.
 \n\nModern supercomputers are quite different beasts, consisting of many h
 ighly interconnected processors.  Vector processing is still delivering hi
 gh performance, which drives investment in technologies such as GPUs and o
 n-chip SIMD units, but high bandwidth, low-latency, reliable interconnect 
 is paramount to large-scale scientific computation.\n\nQuantum computing i
 s looking more and more likely to become a realistic prospect for scientif
 ic computation during our lifetimes.  Although exciting, it cannot be embr
 aced without understanding some fundamental differences between this and w
 hat is now thought of as ``classical'' computing.\n\nIt is widely known th
 at not all problems are are suitable for quantum computation, so it is tem
 pting to consider any future approaches using QPUs to be similar to those 
 taken with modern GPUs.  Unfortunately, this simple substitution will not 
 work for fundamental reasons.\n\nIn this talk, we explain this and highlig
 ht some of the differences.\n\nDomain: Chemistry and Materials, Physics, C
 omputational Methods and Applied Mathematics\n\nSession Chair: Alfio Lazza
