SUMMARY:Introduction to Quantum Computing
DESCRIPTION:Scott Pakin (Los Alamos National Laboratory) and Eleanor G. Ri
 effel (NASA Ames Research Center)\n\nQuantum computing offers the potentia
 l to revolutionize high-performance computing by providing a means to solv
 e certain computational problems asymptotically faster than any classical 
 computer. Relatively recently, quantum computing has advanced from merely 
 a theoretical possibility to engineered reality, including commercial enti
 ties offering early prototype quantum processors, both special-purpose qua
 ntum annealers and general-purpose gate-model processors. The media has be
 en showcasing each new development and implicitly conveying the message th
 at quantum-computing ubiquity is nigh. Here, we will respond to this hype 
 and provide an overview of the exciting but still early state of the field
 .\n\nIn this tutorial, we introduce participants to the computational mode
 l that gives quantum computing its immense computational power. We examine
  the thought processes that programmers need to map problems onto the two 
 dominant quantum-computing architectures. And we discuss the current hardw
 are and algorithmic challenges that must be overcome before quantum comput
 ing becomes a component of the HPC developer’s repertoire.\n\nTag: Introdu
