How Quantum and Supercomputing Come Together

What does the next generation of computing look like when quantum and classical machines work together? On this episode of Quantum Matters, host Murray Thom talks with Professor Dr. Kristel Michielsen, Director of the Jülich Supercomputing Centre in Germany, about how researchers are combining high-performance computing with D-Wave's quantum annealing technology. Kristel shares how Jülich is using D-Wave systems alongside its supercomputers to explore new approaches to problems like protein folding, quantum material simulations, and hybrid quantum-classical computing algorithms. From Europe's first exascale supercomputer to the considerations of integrating quantum systems into everyday research workflows, this episode explores what the future of computing looks like when classical and quantum machines each contribute their strengths.

What does the next generation of computing look like when quantum and classical machines work together?


On this episode of Quantum Matters, host Murray Thom talks with Professor Dr. Kristel Michielsen, Director of the Jülich Supercomputing Centre in Germany, about how researchers are combining high-performance computing with D-Wave's quantum annealing technology. Kristel shares how Jülich is using D-Wave systems alongside its supercomputers to explore new approaches to problems like protein folding, quantum material simulations, and hybrid quantum-classical computing algorithms.


From Europe's first exascale supercomputer to the considerations of integrating quantum systems into everyday research workflows, this episode explores what the future of computing looks like when classical and quantum machines each contribute their strengths.
