Performance Model for Hybrid Quantum-Classical Workflows

Hybrid quantum-classical workflows are expected to underpin practical quantum computing applications, yet the quantum and HPC communities lack a shared framework for reasoning about where and when their integration requirements matter most. Such a framework must separate two distinct levels of analysis: the application level, where communication overhead affects runtime performance, and the real-time level, where it determines feasibility. To address this, we introduce a runtime model that decomposes workflow execution into quantum compute, classical compute, and communication costs. At the application level, a communication-to-computation ratio from this decomposition quantifies whether a workflow is communication-bound or compute-bound; at the real-time level, a feasibility constraint determines whether timing requirements can be met at all, with the reaction time setting the logical clock speed of fault-tolerant computation once they are. Application of this model to representative workflows demonstrates that co-location of quantum processors with HPC infrastructure offers negligible performance benefit for compute-intensive applications today, while tight integration remains crucial for real-time tasks such as quantum error correction needed for large scale quantum computations. However, we discuss how even at the application level these assessments may shift with hardware evolution, illustrating how the model can identify specific crossover conditions, and how, under fault tolerance, the reaction time can set application-level performance.

QMCtwin: Master-Equation Simulation of Syndrome Statistics Beyond Pauli Noise

As quantum error correction moves toward large-scale experimental implementations, decoder performance increasingly depends on how faithfully hardware noise is translated into syndrome statistics. Standard stabilizer workflows achieve scalability by replacing device dynamics with stochastic Pauli or detector-error models, but this compression can discard coherent phase information, nonunital drift, continuous-time effects of always-on couplings, and correlations generated by simultaneous Hamiltonian and dissipative evolution. Here we present QMCtwin, a sign-problem-suppressed quantum Monte Carlo framework for master-equation simulation of QEC circuits, and apply it to a full syndrome-extraction round of a distance-$7$ rotated surface code with $97$ physical qubits. The open-system model includes realistic superconducting-device noise mechanisms such as relaxation, pure dephasing, coherent gate miscalibration, residual $ZZ$ crosstalk, and drive-qubit detuning. By directly estimating syndrome observables from the QMC-generated stochastic density matrix estimator, we compare the master-equation dynamics with their Pauli-twirled Clifford simulation counterparts. QMCtwin predicts syndrome-extraction biases and correlations between syndromes and proxies of logical-string-parity that are absent or strongly suppressed in the stochastic Pauli description. We introduce information-theoretic diagnostics that further quantify how information concerning syndromes versus string-parity proxies differs between the realistic master-equation simulation and the corresponding Pauli-twirled model. These results show that QMC-based master-equation digital twins can expose noise features hidden by conventional Pauli/Clifford noise models and provide a practical path toward more accurate decoder-facing syndrome models.

Quantum-HPC Software Stacks and the openQSE Reference Architecture: A Survey

Quantum resources are increasingly integrated into high-performance computing (HPC) and cloud environments, but quantum high-performance computing (QHPC) software stacks remain isolated, often proprietary, full-stack solutions lacking common interfaces across runtime, resource management, orchestration, and execution layers. This paper analyzes nine production QHPC stacks and identifies common design patterns and emerging requirements, covering deployment models, application interaction patterns, SDK support, and readiness for fault-tolerant operation. The survey exposes consistent needs in runtime abstraction, resource management, interconnect semantics, and observability. Based on these findings, we propose the open quantum-HPC software ecosystem ( openQSE) reference architecture as a first step toward unifying the state-of-the-practice. openQSE defines a set of layer boundaries that allow different implementations to interoperate while preserving deployment flexibility, and is structured to support both current noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) workloads and future fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) systems without changes to upper-layer application interfaces.

A Heuristic Quantum-Classical Algorithm for Modeling Substitutionally Disordered Binary Crystalline Materials

Improving the efficiency and accuracy of energy calculations has been of significant and continued interest in the area of materials informatics, a field that applies machine learning techniques to computational materials data. Here, we present a heuristic quantum-classical algorithm to efficiently model and predict the energies of substitutionally disordered binary crystalline materials. Specifically, a quantum circuit that scales linearly in the number of lattice sites is designed and trained to predict the energies of quantum chemical simulations in an exponentially-scaling feature space. This circuit is trained by classical supervised-learning using data obtained from classically-computed quantum chemical simulations. As a part of the training process, we introduce a sub-routine that is able to detect and rectify anomalies in the input data. The algorithm is demonstrated on the complex layer-structured of Li-cobaltate system, a widely-used Li-ion battery cathode material component. Our results shows that the proposed quantum circuit model presents a suitable choice for modelling the energies obtained from such quantum mechanical systems. Furthermore, analysis of the anomalous data provides important insights into the thermodynamic properties of the systems studied.

Increasing the representation accuracy of quantum simulations of chemistry without extra quantum resources

Proposals for near-term experiments in quantum chemistry on quantum computers leverage the ability to target a subset of degrees of freedom containing the essential quantum behavior, sometimes called the active space. This approximation allows one to treat more difficult problems using fewer qubits and lower gate depths than would otherwise be possible. However, while this approximation captures many important qualitative features, it may leave the results wanting in terms of absolute accuracy (basis error) of the representation. In traditional approaches, increasing this accuracy requires increasing the number of qubits and an appropriate increase in circuit depth as well. Here we introduce a technique requiring no additional qubits or circuit depth that is able to remove much of this approximation in favor of additional measurements. The technique is constructed and analyzed theoretically, and some numerical proof of concept calculations are shown. As an example, we show how to achieve the accuracy of a 20 qubit representation using only 4 qubits and a modest number of additional measurements for a simple hydrogen molecule. We close with an outlook on the impact this technique may have on both near-term and fault-tolerant quantum simulations.
