HPC and Quantum: A Glimpse into the Future at SWITCH 2024

As a key partner in the National Quantum Computing Hub (NQCH)—a collaboration with the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) at the National University of Singapore and the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) at A*STAR—NSCC Singapore plays a vital role in highlighting how supercomputing accelerates breakthroughs in quantum research. By leveraging advanced HPC infrastructure, the collaboration aims to build a thriving ecosystem that fosters quantum innovation in Singapore.

At SWITCH 2024, NSCC Singapore and NQCH showcased how quantum technologies are shaping Singapore’s future across diverse fields, including quantum chemistry, computational biology, finance, and combinatorial optimisation. Visitors learned how high-performance computing (HPC) supports complex simulations, drives algorithm development, and scales quantum technologies to real-world applications.

The event provided an engaging platform for discussions on the synergy between supercomputing and quantum computing. Attendees gained valuable insights into how NSCC Singapore’s role as the national HPC infrastructure provider contributes to driving innovation and positioning Singapore at the forefront of quantum advancements.
