1st European Workshop on Quantum Computing for High-Performance Computing
http://www.euroqhpc.eu
Madrid, Spain
August 27th, 2024
Call for contributions.

Quantum Computing (QC) offers a disruptive landscape to High-Performance Computing (HPC). In the mid-term, the integration of the current classical HPC with the QC paradigm is still a research topic, including how to tackle hybrid classical quantum applications. Nowadays trends point to integrating quantum computers as accelerators (coined as Quantum Processing Units - QPUs) in the same way that GPUs or FPGAs currently are. There are proposals to use adapted classical technologies such as OpenMP, OpenCL, or CUDA Quantum. However, there are still many problems to solve before this integration is effective and smooth. Additionally, the first experiences of Parallel Quantum Computing have been executed during the last few years, and a modular architecture has been proposed by some researchers and vendors. 
We invite to submit a proposal to showcase contributions on topics related to the integration QC and HPC, as: 1. Quantum-Classical Computing Software Interfaces. 2. Integration of QC into HPC facilities. 3. Quantum Machine Learning. 4. QC Applications. 5. QC Benchmarking. 6. Quantum Circuits Partitioning 7. Parallel Quantum Computing 8. Classical simulators of Parallel Quantum Computing. 9. Quantum Optimization 10. Quantum Error Correction

Select track: "European Workshop on Quantum Computing for High-Performance Computing"
Submissions must be in Springer LNCS format.
www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines
Submissions should be in the form of full papers, with a minimum of 10 pages and a maximum of 12, including any figures and references. Submissions with less than 10 pages could be accepted as short papers, but they will not be published in the proceedings.
Reviews and acceptance.
Following the Euro-par methodology for paper selection, each contribution will be blind-reviewed rigorously by at least 3 independent reviews per submission, selected from the program committee. The final contributions will be chosen by their quality and must not be published elsewhere. The program committee could use automatic tools to detect plagiarism.
For each accepted contribution, at least one author must register and present their work during the workshop. For the collection of camera-ready versions, the conference will use Springer’s EquinOCS system where authors can submit their final sources and sign the copyright release form. Springer applies a series of quality checks, such as plagiarism checks using Turnitin, and authors must adhere to Springer’s publishing integrity policy. All authors of accepted papers will be requested to sign a Springer copyright form.
