Quantum Integrated High-Performance Computing: Envisioning a Layered Architecture for Next-Generation Hybrid Computing Infrastructure

Suman Raj, Siva Sai, Yogesh Simmhan +2 more

High-performance computing (HPC) has evolved over decades through multiple architectural transitions, from vector supercomputers to massively parallel CPU clusters and GPU-accelerated systems, continuously expanding the frontier of scientific discovery. With the emergence of quantum processing units (QPUs) as practical computational accelerators, a new opportunity arises to further extend this trajectory by integrating quantum and classical computing paradigms. Building on the emerging vision of Quantum Integrated High-Performance Computing (QHPC), this paper contributes a full-stack layered architecture that integrates QPUs as first-class accelerators within, not merely alongside, the classical HPC software and hardware stack, with tight, on-premise quantum-classical coupling as its defining characteristic. The architecture comprises of unified resource management, quantum-aware scheduling, hybrid workflow orchestration, middleware and programming abstraction, interconnect technologies, and a tiered execution model enabling seamless workload partitioning across classical and quantum backends. A central aspect of this architecture is a strong user requests abstraction layer that exposes heterogeneous resources through a unified job submission interface, similar in spirit to existing schedulers such as Slurm, allowing users to describe workloads in a consistent template independent of underlying compute type or location. Drawing insights from prior accelerator integration eras, we outline how QHPC can support emerging workloads in quantum chemistry, materials discovery, combinatorial optimization, and climate modeling. We conclude by highlighting open challenges in building scalable, reliable, and programmable quantum-classical infrastructures that seamlessly connect global users to heterogeneous compute resources for future quantum-classical HPC ecosystems.

Accelerating HPC With Quantum Computing: It Is a Software Challenge Too

Martin Schulz, Martin Ruefenacht, Dieter August Kranzlmüller +1 more

With quantum computing (QC) maturing, high-performance computing (HPC) centers are already preparing to host early-phase production versions of such systems. Unlike their experimental predecessors in physics laboratories, with a very small and dedicated user community, this next generation of systems needs to serve a wider user community and must work in concert with existing HPC systems and software stacks. This article describes our vision for an integrated ecosystem that combines existing HPC and evolving quantum software stacks into a single system to enable a common and continuous user experience. This integration comes with several major challenges as quantum systems pose significantly different requirements including increased need for compilation at run time, long optimization times, statistical evaluations of results, and the need to work with few centralized resources. To overcome these challenges, new scheduling approaches on the HPC side and new programming approaches on the QC side are required.
