Welcome to the 2025 Working Group on Quantum Computing for HEP workshop!
This technical working group organised by CERN, DESY, and the IBM Quantum Network aims to bring together experts to collaborate with a goal of accelerating our path to achieving quantum advantage for High Energy Physics (HEP).

Parallel sessions: Experiments 503/1-001 - Council Chamber
o Parallelization of quantum classical workflow (chairperson: Andrea Delgado and Vincent Pascuzzi)
o (Large) data encoding and compression schemes (such as PCA) that can keep quantum correlation (chairperson: Miriam Martinez)
o Quantum Monte Carlo generators (chairperson: Vincent Pascuzzi)
o QAOA (chairperson: Andrea Delgado)
o QML ((chairperson: Koji Terashi)
o Quantum generative models (can we make use of quantum data) (chairperson: Vincent Croft)
o Role of quantum sensing (chairperson: Yacine Haddad)
o Possible new research directions (all). Consolidate and/or start working teams working around selected topics -
16
o Optimization: static calculations (phase transition) (chairperson: Pietro Silvi)
Topic: Beyond VQE(?); Martin’s “scaling” ansatz; Quantum subspace expansion (Julian Schuhmacher and Anthony Gandon)
o Dynamics (chairperson: Stefan Kühn and Jad Halimeh)
Topic: Scattering: how large can we scale? Can we reach utility scale?
o What else than Trotter? QDRIFT inspired ansatz, (chairperson: Alessandro Roggero or Oriel Kiss).
o Scaling from 1D+1 to 2D+1 and possibly 3D+1 (HW dependences) – near-term vs fault-tolerant (what kind of chip topology will be needed?) (chairperson: Uwe Wiese and Arianna Crippa.)
o Further topics: upon request
o Possible new research directions (all). Consolidate and/or start working teams working around selected topics. -

- Organization: future virtual and in-person meetings (chairperson: SteerCo)
- Identify needs (enablement required, …)
- Conduct guidelines (enrolment process, publication policy …) (chairperson: Ivano)
- Summary of the discussions and outlook (chairperson: SteerCo)
- Need for an enabling session (?) (virtual, for IBM machines)
