SUMMARY:Quantum Webinar Series - March 27\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Ecosystem for Research Networking and the Northeast Big Data Innovation Hub(NEBDHub) have partnered to host a series ofwebinars focusing on Quantum Computing. This Dynamic series will convene leading researchers\, industry innovators\, and educators toexplore the evolving frontiers of quantum science and technology. These virtual events are designed for learners\, educatorsresearchers\, and professionals. Each interactive session will span topics from foundational principles to cutting edge real-worldapplication\, bridging disciplines and sparking discovery. \n\n\n\n\n\nPathways to Hybrid Quantum and High-Performance Computing\n\n\n\nQuantum computing promises to transform how we approach some of the most challenging computational problems\, from molecular simulation to complex optimization. This talk introduces the core ideas of quantum information science at a high level and explains how they enable new computational models based on qubits\, gates\, and quantum circuits. We then explore key quantum algorithms\, emerging application domains\, and the current state of quantum hardware in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era. Finally\, the talk discusses how quantum processors are likely to integrate with high-performance computing systems as specialized processing units\, highlighting the importance of hybrid quantum–classical workflows and the opportunities this emerging paradigm presents for research and cyberinfrastructure. \n\n\n\n\nDr. Bruno Abreu – Deputy Scientific Director Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nPresentation \n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nDr. Bruno Abru is the Deputy Scientific Director at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center\, Carnegie Mellon University\, where he leads quantum computing research and systems design. With a background in condensed matter physics and years of experience in the advanced cyberinfrastructure community\, he is excited to connect researchers with PSC computing and data resources that enable groundbreaking discoveries and innovation.
