Quantum Curio | Seattle DTW Edition: Navigating the Classical - Quantum Gap

Every wave of computing has had a critical "everything else" layer, the part that turned the hardware into something usable. For GPUs it was CUDA, schedulers, and the runtime stack. For quantum computing, that layer is being built right now. This panel is about who's building it, what's working, and what the field needs next. The real opportunity in hybrid quantum-classical computing isn't just the qubit. It's everything around it: scheduling, orchestration, data movement, hybrid workflow management, and the evolving interface between how classical HPC systems and quantum processors communicate. And because that work is happening across hyperscalers, established computer and quantum vendors, government agencies and national labs, and…
