Dominik Ulmer, Chief Quantum Solutions officer at ParTec, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Dominik discusses ParTec’s transition from a traditional HPC software company to integrating quantum computing into their offerings. He explains their approach to hybrid classical-quantum systems, including virtualizing quantum computers as special nodes within HPC clusters and supporting various quantum modalities. Dominik highlights the importance of minimizing new infrastructure requirements for quantum systems, the use of emulators, and their support for hybrid on-premises and cloud integration. He also outlines ParTec’s physical integration lab, future plans for a Quantum Workbench, and much more.
