HPCQS (High Performance Computer – Quantum Simulator hybrid) is a European hybrid high-performance computing and quantum simulator infrastructure project, rather than an online course website in the conventional sense. Its goal is to couple two quantum simulators capable of controlling 100+ qubits with two European Tier-0 supercomputers, building an open, federated European HPC-QS hybrid platform and providing non-commercial cloud access to public and private users in Europe.
From an education/course perspective, the learning value of HPCQS mainly comes from project materials, conference presentations, workshops, the user community, and hands-on practice with its software environment. The text mentions demonstrations and panel discussions at high-performance computing conferences such as ISC and SC, as well as the “HPCQS Demonstration and Stakeholder Engagement” workshop, which helps potential end users understand hybrid HPC/quantum computing applications. The software stack covers EVIDEN Qaptiva, myQLM, Pasqal Pulser, Quandela Perceval, as well as tools such as Callisto, Felis, MIMIQ, and Qrisp, making it suitable for training and validation before developing quantum simulation and hybrid applications.
The project explicitly states that it offers “non-commercial cloud access” to public and private users in Europe, but it does not provide specific application requirements, fees, quotas, or commercial pricing. The EU Knowledge Valorisation Week section mentions free online courses and training, but this is more related to EU research valorisation activities rather than a structured course product offered by HPCQS itself.
Its strengths lie in its strong institutional background. Partners include European research institutions, supercomputing centers, and companies such as FZJ, GENCI, CEA, CNRS, Inria, CINECA, BSC, ICHEC, and Pasqal. The content is close to real cutting-edge infrastructure and does not remain at the level of theoretical teaching. The drawbacks are that the learning path is unclear, with no defined course syllabus, certificates, assignments, or tiered progression system. Its target users are relatively specialized, and it primarily serves European users, making the barrier to entry high for general learners.
It is better suited to researchers, engineers, and institutional decision-makers working in HPC, quantum computing, scientific computing, optimization, materials science, and physical chemistry simulation. It is not suitable as an introductory quantum computing course for complete beginners.
