SUMMARY:Introduction to Quantum Computing
DESCRIPTION:Scott Pakin (Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL)) and Eleano
 r G. Rieffel (NASA Ames Research Center)\n\nQuantum computing offers the p
 otential to revolutionize high-performance computing by providing a means 
 to solve certain computational problems faster than any classical computer
 .  Relatively recently, quantum computing has advanced from a theoretical 
 possibility to engineered reality, with commercial entities offering early
  prototype quantum processors representing a variety of qubit technologies
  and computational paradigms.  The media have been showcasing each new dev
 elopment and implicitly conveying the message that quantum-computing ubiqu
 ity is nigh. Here, we will respond to this hype and provide an overview of
  the exciting but still early state of the field.\n\nWe introduce particip
 ants to the computational models underlying quantum computing.  We work th
 rough examples of its immense computational power while highlighting what 
 the quantum computing community still does not know in terms of quantum al
 gorithms and where the power of quantum computing comes from.  We examine 
 the thought processes that programmers use to map problems to circuit-mode
 l quantum computers, quantum annealers, measurement-based quantum systems,
  analog Rydberg atom arrays, and other recent inventions in the quantum-co
 mputing space.  We conclude with an overview of the hardware and algorithm
 ic challenges that must be overcome before quantum computing becomes a com
 ponent of the HPC developer's repertoire.\n\nTag: Algorithms, Post-Moore C
