As quantum computers rapidly improve, so does the likelihood of unlocking advancement across scientific fields. To facilitate this progress, the Quantum Technical Working Groups have spent the past three years considering exactly how quantum computing will impact five key areas of interest: Healthcare &Life Sciences, High Energy Physics, Materials Science, Optimization, and Sustainability. Experts from quantum and classical computing, as well as subject matter experts will discuss their latest works stemming from these ongoing collaborations. With perspectives from academia, national labs, and industry, topics may cover benchmarking, integration with high performance computing, quantum algorithms, and specific use cases, such as clinical trial design, power grid optimization, and fermionic wave packet scattering. As these groups have produced several perspective papers and performed algorithm research on real quantum hardware, this workshop presents an opportunity to study how different scientific fields approach open challenges related to quantum integration and solutions. This is the first time that representatives from all five groups come together to discuss the reality of integrating quantum computing into their respective fields. The program aims to promote knowledge sharing and identify common themes across research domains in order to support strengthened collaborations across sectors, with a particular focus on best next steps given the expected quantum computing upgrades coming in the next few years.
