Quantum-HPC Integration
QRMI: Middleware for First-Class Quantum Resources in Compute Infrastructures
Quantum processors need to become first-class resources inside compute infrastructure. I introduce QRMI as open, vendor-neutral middleware for orchestration, observability, and maintenance.
When HPC and Quantum Work Together
I moderated a Pasqal Thoughts 2026 panel on what it takes for HPC and quantum to work together, with perspectives from CINECA, IBM Quantum, and GENCI.
OpenQSE
Quantum-HPC middleware bottlenecks are mostly operational. I outline QRMI and a second-level scheduler for work inside HPC allocations. This improves runtime control without replacing existing schedulers.
Open Compute Project: QPU Integration
QPUs as first-class HPC resources require software redesign. I share deployment lessons on orchestration, scheduling, and observability in production sites. This guides data-center integration decisions.
EQS3 VI QRMI Overview
Quantum resource management interface design remains fragmented. I compare QRMI with QDMI and discuss where they should interoperate. This helps teams choose integration paths with lower lock-in.
Supercomputing SC25
QC-HPC systems need portable execution environments. I present architecture choices for QRMI integration, second-level scheduling, and observability. This improves usability for both developers and operators.
Material Science Working Group Meeting
Quantum-HPC integration for materials science is becoming practical. Working-group talks focused on workflows, operations, and deployment constraints. This sharpens priorities for near-term application teams.
Towards quantum-classical supercomputing with neutral atoms
Quantum-classical supercomputing depends on operational integration. I map neutral-atom QPU infrastructure, co-processing workflows, and scheduling constraints. This clarifies what production adoption actually requires.
Software at the intersection of Quantum and HPC & heterogeneous quantum computing
Heterogeneous quantum computing needs shared scheduling semantics. I cover QRMI and Slurm-based resource management across real HPC deployments. This reduces integration friction for hybrid workloads.
European Quantum Software and Systems Summit (EQS3)
Quantum-HPC architecture still lacks stable handoff points. EQS3 discussions focused on abstractions and modality-specific stack choices. Clarifying these boundaries improves interoperability planning.
HPC-QC integration for neutral atoms based QPUs
HPC scheduler integration for neutral-atom QPUs is still immature. Hardware-specific constraints break generic assumptions in early stack designs. Model those constraints early to avoid costly rework.
Quantum Software Engineering
Munich Quantum Software Forum 2026
Invited talk at the Munich Quantum Software Forum 2026, held October 14-15 in Munich. Talk title and abstract will be added once finalized.
FOSDEM Quantum Computing Devroom
Quantum software engineering often fails on product fit. I analyze why useful internal tools stay unused despite technical quality. This improves requirements, architecture choices, and long-term maintenance.
Qadence @ POPL24
Quantum software engineering needs better language abstractions. I present Qadence as a differentiable interface for digital-analog programs. This shortens iteration loops between model design and execution.
Pulse level simulation of neutral atom QPUs
Pulse-level simulation for neutral-atom QPUs is advancing quickly. Tensor-network methods and differentiable emulators expose limits in many advantage claims. Use simulation evidence to guide realistic roadmap choices.
Ecosystem & Events
Supercomputing SC24
Quantum-HPC ecosystem progress is visible at SC24. Booth talks and partner sessions showed where integration work is concrete versus hype. This helps prioritize engineering work with practical upside.
Neutral atoms quantum computing and applications
Neutral-atom quantum computing needs realistic framing. I explain applications, hardware constraints, and commercial timelines to an academic audience. This helps teams plan work against real delivery horizons.
