MOTIVATION AND SCOPE

Quantum computing is rapidly evolving, with quantum systems requiring integration with HPC and QPUs as accelerators. This special Issue spotlights foundations and practice: large-scale simulators; quantum compilers, runtimes, workflow managers, schedulers, and orchestrators; quantum algorithms and applications (including QML, quantum chemistry, …); quantum data and memories; error-correction codes; hybrid QC-HPC methods; performance modeling and characterization; cloud-based quantum services; quantum technologies for computation; speed-up and supremacy assessment; and benchmarking. We welcome contributions that tackle hardware-software co-design, classical-quantum interfaces, and validation at scale, showcasing both current results and emerging directions.
