Quantum computing finds its place alongside classical systems, Livermore scientist says
Quantum computing is transitioning from a replacement to a complementary technology for high-performance computing (HPC), acting as a co-processor to accelerate specific problem classes. Organizations leveraging classical supercomputers or quantum-ready infrastructure may face new security and integration challenges as hybrid quantum-classical systems proliferate. Early adopters must assess compatibility, security, and long-term scalability to mitigate risks.
