Quantum Computing offers a disruptive landscape to High-Performance computing. In the mid-term, the integration of the current classical High-Performance Computers with the quantum computing paradigm is still a research topic, including how to tackle hybrid classical-quantum applications. Nowadays trends point to integrating quantum computers as accelerators (coined as Quantum Processing Units - QPUs) as GPUs or FPGAs currently are. There are proposals to use adapted classical technologies such as OpenMP, OpenCL, or Cuda Quantum. However, there are still many problems to solve before this integration is effective and smooth. Additionally, the first experiences of parallel quantum computing have been executed during the last few years, and a modular architecture has been proposed by some researchers and vendors. At the application level, although not new because the first proposed algorithms are more than 20 years old, parallel quantum computing is a research topic that is gaining momentum. In the short term, it can include only QPUs with classical communications, but in the future could integrate quantum communications as well. Extensions of MPI, the de-facto standar for classical parallel systems, have been proposed to include new primitives for quantum operations. Last but not least, the Quantum Error Correction and logical Qubits are two main research topics for the next years, but how to integrate them into the full-stack is under research. This workshop intends to showcase research works related to topics linked with this classical-quantum integration objective, at the different levels of the hardware/software stack, from applications to hardware.
We invite to submit a original work to showcase contributions on topics related to the integration QC and HPC, not published previously, as:
Quantum-Classical Computing Software Interfaces.
Integration of Quantum Computing into HPC facilities.
Quantum Machine Learning.
QC Applications.
QC Benchmarking.
Parallel Quantum Computing.
Classical simulators of Parallel Quantum Computing.
Quantum Optimization.
Quantum Error Correction.
Hardware for Distributed Quantum Computing. Quantum Networks.
1. Submission deadline: May 15th, 2026
2. Acceptance Notification: June 12th, 2026
3. Camera-ready of accepted papers due: July 10th, 2026
Authors must submit their work through EasyChair. Link for submission:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences?conf=europar2026workshops
Select track: "2nd European Workshop on Quantum Computing for High-Performance Computing"
Submissions must be in Springer LNCS format.
www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines
Submissions should be in the form of full papers, with a minimum of 10 pages and a maximum of 12, including any figures and references. Submissions with less than 10 pages could be accepted as short papers, but they will not be published in the proceedings.
Following the Euro-par methodology for paper selection, each contribution will be blind-reviewed rigorously by at least 3 independent reviews per submission, selected from the program committee. The final contributions will be chosen by their quality and must not be published elsewhere. The program committee could use automatic tools to detect plagiarism.
For each accepted contribution, at least one author must register and present their work during the workshop. Only the accepted papers presented at the workshop will be published in the final proceedings. For the collection of camera-ready versions, the conference will use Springer’s Meteor system, where authors can submit their final sources and sign the copyright release form. Springer applies a series of quality checks, such as plagiarism checks using Turnitin, and authors must adhere to Springer’s publishing integrity policy.
The collection of camera-ready versions of accepted papers (along with their corresponding copyright release forms) will commence prior to the start of the conference. A final decision on whether a paper will be included in the proceedings will be made after the conclusion of the conference, based on the following criteria:
A valid registration is associated with the workshop paper;
The paper was presented in person at the event;
The paper complies with the full paper page limits (10–12 pages); and
The authors have submitted both their final source files and camera-ready version by the Camera-Ready Deadline (July 10th, 2026).
