Special Issue of Journal of Supercomputing on Quantum Computing Algorithms, Systems, and Applications https://link.springer.com/collections/ehjbabafic Guest Editors: Mary Eshaghian-Wilner, Ashfaq Khokhar, Robert Basili Recent breakthroughs in quantum computing hardware have created an explosion of research and activity in quantum information science. The rise of “Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum” (NISQ) devices has revealed major algorithmic and architectural challenges within this new technology. For example, the potential roles of quantum and/or quantum-classical hybrid data structures on algorithm design and performance evaluation are subjects of intense research. The goal of this special issue is to showcase the novel studies and foremost applications of non-fault-tolerant quantum computers, and provide a timely forum for computational scientists, software developers, computer scientists, physicists and quantum hardware specialists to exchange and discuss ideas on current problems in quantum information science. The contributions in this issue will help elucidate practical, near-term limitations of current quantum devices, gauge the effectiveness of approximate circuits quantitatively, and garner insight on what degree of such approximation is optimal for current regimes of machine performance. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Quantum algorithms Hybrid quantum-classical solutions Quantum error correction and noise mitigation Quantum computing hardware and architecture Quantum software engineering Quantum optimization Quantum circuit cutting Quantum machine learning * Environments, frameworks, and computational models Integration of quantum computation with supercomputing infrastructure Quantum simulators Cloud-based quantum computing Application of quantum computing to problems in computational science Challenging applications in industry and academia Submission Instructions and Timeline: Submission Link: https://submission.nature.com/new-submission/11227/3 Opening date for submissions - January 25, 2025 Closing date for submissions - April 15, 2025 Acceptance Decisions Due: July 15, 2025 Guest Editors’ Contact Information: Mary Mehrnoosh Eshaghian-Wilner - Dept of Mathematics - Iowa State University -m...@iastate.edu Ashfaq Khokhar - Dept of Electrical and Computer Engineering - Iowa State University -ash...@iastate.edu Robert Basili - Dept of Physics and Astronomy - Iowa state University- basil...@iastate.edu
