The Ecosystem for Research Networking and the Northeast Big Data Innovation Hub (NEBDHub) have partnered to host a series of webinars focusing on Quantum Computing. This Dynamic series will convene leading researchers, industry innovators, and educators to explore the evolving frontiers of quantum science and technology. These virtual events are designed for learners, educators, researchers, and professionals. Each interactive session will span topics from foundational principles to cutting edge real-world application, bridging disciplines and sparking discovery.

Quantum-Centric HPC: Practicalities, Use Cases and Facilitation

Quantum computing holds immense promise for achieving computational gains once thought unattainable, given the physical limits to classical compute resources. Certain classes of problems could benefit greatly from speedups obtainable from the exploitation of superposition and entanglement by quantum computing systems. This presentation will look at realistic instances in the current noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) -era, how these (and other use cases) might scale with quantum hardware, and strategies for integration of quantum resources with HPC. 

Introducing and assimilating quantum computing-related protocols to conventional compute paradigms inevitably complicate the challenges facing facilitators; we will leave time for discussion centering on audience ideas and questions on easing the inclusion of the exciting and paradigm-changing quantum computing technologies.

Register here for December’s free, virtual webinar scheduled for Friday, December 5th, 2025 from 1:00 PM – 2:00PM ET.

Dr. Torey Battelle earned her BA in Physics from Middlebury College, and her PhD in Applied Physics from Colorado School of Mines.  Dr. Battelle is an Associate Director in Arizona State University’s Research Technology Office, and is instrumental to ASU’s Quantum Collaborative, a collection of universities, industry partners and national laboratories driving the advancement of quantum technologies and workforce development.  Recently named Associate Director of Research Computing, she is turning her ‘quantum’ focus to quantum-centric HPC.  She leads the Quantum Collaborative’s quantum computing steering committee in several exciting research directions, facilitates quantum technology-related exploration in quantum sensing, communication and networking, and connects with industry and university partners in crucial workforce development efforts.   Dr. Battelle is honored and thrilled to join ERN-Q in an overview and discussion of quantum-centric high-performance computing.
