Integration of Component-Based Quantum Systems into High-Performance Computing Environments

While quantum computing (QC) slowly matures and major technological bottlenecks towards enterprise-grade are still to be overcome, the field has evolved up to a point where almost all components of the hardware stack are available on the market. Those enabling technologies allow for a modular and component-based systems engineering approach to quantum computing, a unique path that Munich-based system integrator ParTec AG pursues. At the same time, there is an increasing interest for on-premises QC in data and high-performance computing (HPC) centers, leaving the open question on how to combine and integrate both domains in a homogeneous architecture.

In this talk, we will discuss the challenges and opportunities of such a modular approach in terms of scalability and compatibility from the hardware side. Finally, we will present ParTec’s first quantum solution, codenamed the Eiger, a small-scale system based on superconducting qubit technology.
