2nd Workshop ON Advancing Scientific Computing through Quantum and HPC SynergIES

May 25 - 29, 2026, at IPDPS 2026, New Orleans, USA

A One-day Workshop featuring talks, interactive activities, and paper presentations

The Workshop on Advancing Science through Quantum and HPC Synergy aims to explore the intersection of quantum computing and high-performance computing (HPC) in driving scientific innovation. As quantum technologies evolve and HPC continues to expand computational capabilities, this workshop will focus on how these two powerful paradigms can collaborate to solve complex scientific challenges. Discussions will center on new algorithms, hybrid computing models, hardware architectures, and practical applications that leverage both quantum and classical systems to advance domains such as physics, chemistry, materials science, and data-intensive research. The workshop seeks to bring together researchers from academia, industry, and national laboratories to share insights, foster collaboration, and chart the path forward for quantum-HPC integration in science.

Submission Rules

All manuscripts will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee, with a single-blind review process. Submissions should be a complete manuscript or, in special cases, may be a summary of relevant work. There are two types of manuscripts: 1) full papers (up to 6 pages) and 2) short papers (up to 4 pages). Both manuscripts should follow the IEEE conference style: single-spaced, double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5X11 inch pages. The page limits exclude references and both manuscripts can include up to 2 pages of references. A conformant LaTeX template is available here: here. Overleaf users can find the LaTeX template here. A Microsoft Word template is available here.

Submission Link

Papers are to be submitted through Linkings. All papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format. Submitted papers should not have appeared in or be under submission for a different workshop, conference or journal. It is also expected that all accepted papers (full or short) will be presented at the workshop by one of the authors.

Reviewer Conflict Policy

During paper submission (in “Conflicts > My Conflicts”), all author(s) conflicts must be registered with all possible program committee members. Conflicts are defined as all relationships that would prevent a reviewer from objectively evaluating the submitted work. This includes, but is not limited to, having within the past 5 years, 1) co-authored a publication, or 2) shared a funding award, and 3) shared at least one institutional affiliation. Note: if a conflict is declared (or left undeclared) in an attempt to manipulate the review process, the submission may be rejected.

Publication and Journal Special Issue

IEEE CS Press will publish the IPDPS symposium and workshop abstracts as a printed volume. Proceedings of the workshops are distributed at the conference and are submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library after the conference.

PROGRAM COMMITTEE

The goal of this workshop is to explore how the synergy between quantum computing and HPC can drive scientific innovation, with a focus on novel technologies and architectures, new algorithms, and real-world applications in fields like physics, chemistry, and data-intensive research.

Workshop attendees can expect a dynamic and collaborative environment where experts in quantum computing, high-performance computing (HPC), and scientific research will share cutting-edge developments and insights. The sessions will include presentations on the latest advancements in quantum algorithms, architectures, and hybrid computing frameworks, as well as discussions on their applications in solving complex scientific problems. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in interactive discussions, participate in hands-on demonstrations, and network with researchers from academia, industry, and national laboratories. The workshop will provide a platform for exchanging ideas, exploring collaborative opportunities, and gaining a deeper understanding of how quantum-HPC integration can accelerate progress in scientific discovery.
