Quantum–HPC  (QHPC) integration is moving from early experiments to operational prototypes that connect QPU with the leadership-class supercomputing environment. This talk reviews the design thinking thus far, what has entered early development - like hybrid runtimes, middleware layers, and workflow orchestration bridging HPC and quantum systems - and what continues to be challenges, like multiple emerging solution and standards, adoption, use cases, and sustained software ecosystems.

 

It also examines structural challenges such as aligning hardware roadmaps with software readiness and maintaining realistic expectations of computational utility. Rather than promising speedups, the focus is on what hybrid infrastructures enable today: reproducible experimentation, system co-design, and preparation for future fault-tolerant regimes.
