SUMMARY:Introduction to Quantum Computing
DESCRIPTION:Tutorial\nIntroductory, Quantum Computing, Tutorial Reg Pass\n
 \nIntroduction to Quantum Computing\n\nPakin, Rieffel\n\nQuantum computing
  offers the potential to revolutionize high-performance computing by provi
 ding a means to solve certain computational problems asymptotically faster
  than any classical computer. Relatively recently, quantum computing has a
 dvanced from merely a theoretical possibility to engineered reality, inclu
 ding commercial entities offering early prototype quantum processors, both
  special-purpose quantum annealers and general-purpose gate-model processo
 rs. The media has been showcasing each new development and implicitly conv
 eying the message that quantum-computing ubiquity is nigh. Here, we will r
 espond to this hype and provide an overview of the exciting but still earl
 y state of the field.\n\nIn this tutorial, we introduce participants to th
 e computational model that gives quantum computing its immense computation
 al power. We examine the thought processes that programmers need to map pr
 oblems onto the two dominant quantum-computing architectures. And we discu
 ss the current hardware and algorithmic challenges that must be overcome b
 efore quantum computing becomes a component of the HPC developer’s reperto
 ire.
