This document summarizes the presentation on Quantum-centric Supercomputing given at the 22nd International Workshop on Advanced Computing and Analysis Techniques in Physics Research, hosted at Stony Brook University.
Quantum-centric supercomputing has the potential to revolutionize various fields by offering unprecedented computational power to tackle the world's most pressing problems. This research survey aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of quantum computing, the current state of quantum-centric supercomputers, and their potential applications in solving global challenges. We explore the basic concepts underlying quantum computing, including qubits, superposition, entanglement, and quantum algorithms. Furthermore, we examine the existing and proposed architectures of quantum-centric supercomputers, as well as recent technological advancements and breakthroughs. The paper also discusses the application of these advanced computational systems in areas such as climate modeling, drug discovery, cryptography, and artificial intelligence. Finally, we address the future directions and opportunities for quantum-centric supercomputing, including technological advances, research collaborations, and policy and ethical considerations. Our findings underscore the transformative potential of quantum-centric supercomputing and the need for continued research and development to fully harness its capabilities for addressing the world's most critical problems.
This paper evaluates the breakthrough in computational biophysics marked by the successful ab initio quantum simulation of protein complexes up to 12,635 atoms, achieved through a heterogeneous Quantum-Centric Supercomputing (QCSC) paradigm. By leveraging advanced quantum processors (IBM Heron r2) and classical HPC (Miyabi-G) with the novel EWF-TrimSQD algorithm, researchers surpassed previous simulation size limits by over 40-fold, enabling accurate calculation of fragment energies and ligand-binding affinities for systems like Trypsin-benzamidine. Beyond drug Mamun, SM (2026) ……………………………….1 Quantum-Centric Supercomputing and Photonic Bio-Quantum Architectures: An Exhaustive Evaluation of High-Fidelity Biomolecular Simulation and Mitochondrial Quantum Dynamics (Vol-II) K S C discovery, this capacity provides the empirical foundation for rigorous investigation into quantum biology. The paper details non-classical phenomena, including proton tunneling in ribosomal peptide bond formation and the highly efficient electron/proton tunneling within the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC), highlighting how oxidative damage to these quantum pathways drives neurodegenerative pathology.
