Call for Submissions: Quantum‑Centric Supercomputing Collection
We are pleased to announce the launch of the Quantum‑Centric Supercomputing collection, now open for submissions. This interdisciplinary initiative invites cutting‑edge research at the intersection of quantum processing and classical high‑performance computing (HPC), reflecting the rapidly evolving landscape of hybrid computational paradigms.
About the Collection
As quantum processors continue to scale and classical HPC systems advance, it is becoming both possible—and essential—to rethink the traditional boundaries that separate these computational models. This collection aims to showcase original contributions that advance the theory, architectures, and applications of quantum‑centric supercomputing.
Aims & Scope
We welcome submissions that focus on (but are not limited to) the following themes:
- Hybrid quantum–classical algorithms
Approaches that seamlessly integrate quantum accelerators within classical HPC workflows. - Distributed quantum computation
Research on multi‑node quantum networks, including resource management, task scheduling, and robust error‑control mechanisms in networked environments. - Quantum communication and networking technologies
Innovations that enable entanglement distribution, secure communication, and interconnected quantum processors. - Performance modeling and benchmarking
Frameworks that evaluate quantum‑classical systems end‑to‑end, enabling scientifically rigorous comparisons and optimization. - Scalable software stacks and middleware
Cross‑platform orchestration layers, programming models, and compiler toolchains that support the next generation of quantum‑centric supercomputing.
Who Should Contribute?
This collection will be of particular interest to researchers working in:
- Quantum algorithms and architectures
- HPC and distributed systems
- Quantum networks and communication
- Middleware, compilers, and systems software
- Cross‑disciplinary scientific computing leveraging quantum resources
Why Publish in This Collection?
- Highlight your work within a rapidly advancing field bridging quantum and classical computing
- Join a global research community shaping future computational architectures
- Contribute to foundational advancements in hybrid workflows poised to transform physics, chemistry, materials science, and large‑scale scientific computing
Submission Deadline: 31 May 2026
