This paper explores the evolution of HPC workloads and how cloud computing has evolved to become a viable tool to complement on-premises capabilities for running large-scale scientific workloads. It looks at the challenges driven by advanced, large-scale scientific workloads, the importance of their resultant research, how cloud-based resources are capable of meeting HPC requirements, and examples of results provided by running large-scale scientific workloads in the cloud.

Overview of Key Government Support to Quantum Technology Development
Bob Sorensen, Earl Joseph
National governments around the world are moving to enact new quantum computing research activities or expand the scope and ambitions of existing programs, driven by a range of both national security and industrial competitiveness imperatives. The bulk of current and planned programs center on funding basic and advanced research in quantum technologies, primarily at national laboratories or related academic facilities.

Key Takeaways from QC Supplier Study: Nascent QC Sector Defies Easy Characterization
Bob Sorensen, Earl Joseph
According to a recent Hyperion Research study of 135 US quantum computing (QC) technology developers across the academic, commercial, and government sectors, selected financial indicators in the QC commercial sector have yet to settle into any easily characterized profile. For example, Hyperion Research estimates that while more than one third of the reporting QC suppliers in the survey had revenues of five million dollars or more in 2019, almost half that supplied revenue figures had revenues of less than $500 thousand or no sales in 2019. Likewise, survey respondents indicated that the appropriateness of QC R&D funding differ greatly across the corporate, government, and VC spaces, citing a need for more government funding while expressing concern that current VC funding for the sector may be excessive. Finally, when asked about a potential quantum winter, QC suppliers were much more pessimistic than the base of current and potential QC users, with about half of QC suppliers believing a quantum winter is somewhat or highly likely in the next decade, twice that of counterpart QC end users.
