Abstract

Integrating quantum processing units (QPUs) into heterogeneous HPC infrastructure, the quantum-centric supercomputing model, requires collaboration across industries to align hardware and software.

The first half covered the architecture IBM and its HPC and quantum partners built to run QPU workloads under the Slurm workload manager, with live demonstrations of Slurm jobs running quantum and quantum-classical hybrid workloads.

The second half addressed orchestration challenges specific to hybrid workloads, such as iterative execution, hyperparameter tuning and backend instability, and showed how to build fault-tolerant pipelines with Prefect using checkpointing, automatic retries and real-time observability.
